Previous Events:

Our topic from Tuesday, March 18th was Spiritual Wellness led by Rev. Mike Moreno. This was a great hour full of insight and inspiration.

Topic Tuesday on March 4th was led by Janine Podany, Fitness Director at the Norfolk Family YMCA. We discussed stress management and relaxation techniques. There are no notes from this topic, but here are some helpful resources from that evening: The CD used in class for relaxation and meditation was called Chrysalis 2002 and can be purchased or ordered on-line or from most stores. Please check out www.mediheaven.com for one FREE trial of guided meditation and relaxation. This is an awesome website, but you can only use the free trial once, so check it out and download it when you have time to spend about 20 minutes to relax. Or should I say when you make 20 minutes for yourself to relax.

Jennifer Taber, M.S., the Health and Wellness Advisor at Affiliated Foods presented our first topic on nutrition this past Tuesday, January 8th at the Lifelong Learning Center. You can view and print her presentation to the right of this page.
