Partners in Vision Update

Here is an update from your Board of Trustees on both our Partners initiative and the Matching Gift process:

We invite you to sign up for partnership online at Partners in Vision 2023 (breezechms.com).

We are incredibly grateful for the Matching Gift offer. The generosity of the community has been simply overwhelming. Our intention is to wrap up that initiative on Sunday, March 12th. We can still use your support to reach our goal, but we anticipate having terrific news in the very near future.

Thank you for your support of the RGCSL community. It is a wonderful time of growth and excitement to be a part of all that is happening here.— The RGCSL Board of Trustees

Exuberant Aging!

“The Truth About Aging” workshop was such a success that a series of three workshops to dig deeper into what it means to age exuberantly will be held in March, April and May.

The workshops will be led by Marilyn O’Leary, RScP, author, professional life coach, and experienced teacher and facilitator.

Journaling: It’s an Inside Job, will be on Saturday, March 18, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Marilyn will discuss journaling as a spiritual practice to reveal our thoughts, including negative ideas about aging that we have accepted from society. We’ll also create affirmations to counter these thoughts and build new, life-affirming beliefs.

Listening: The Basis of Connection will be held on Saturday, April 15, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Dr. Norm Dawson will discuss the connection between hearing loss and dementia and how to avoid it. Marilyn will then facilitate experiential exercises in deep listening to foster meaningful relationships.

Keep Moving: Physical Movement and Exuberant Aging will be held on Saturday, May 13 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Carol Helms, personal trainer, will lead us through exercises for all abilities that support health. That will be followed by information on how recent research on exercise supports spiritual beliefs about the body, and how to deepen our commitment to a healthy body-mind-spirit.

All workshops are held at the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living, 4374 Alexander Blvd. NE. The cost is $105 if you sign up for all three workshops, or $40 if you sign up individually. To reserve your place go to https://rgcsl.breezechms.com/form/a515852660

You can live more exuberantly as you age, no matter how old you are!
