Heartful Stories
Heartful Stories
Heartful Stories is a free storytelling and creative writing workshop designed specifically for individuals 55+ who wish to start or continue a mindful creative practice.
Our stories matter! Storytelling plays an important and meaningful role in our everyday efforts to connect with others. Telling stories builds empathy and helps us express who we are in our communities.
In small group sessions, Kathy Smith (right), a seasoned story and creative writing facilitator, will guide participants through an intentional, gentle but inspiring process of reflection to capture and share unique ideas, memories and personal experiences.
No previous experience is required to attend these workshops, just a desire to express your thoughts, feelings, reflections and observations in a safe, encouraging and friendly environment.
Complimentary journals, refreshments and free supplies will be provided to participants.
We warmly welcome and provide dedicated support for folks living with cognitive impairment.

Heartful Melodies
Heartful Melodies
Singing, movement, community - this is what participants in Heartful Melodies experienced in the Fall.
We welcomed Tony Nother, who lead us in a sing along, as well as creative writing for our own song! We also got to move and groove with four sessions of Fit Beat, yoga ball drumming, with Alison Williams, and four sessions of karaoke with singing or instrument performances.
Check out the gallery to the right, and the video highlights below!
