Medicare 102: Kickbacks and Free Stuff. What's that about?EnrichmentIf you watch any television, you have probably seen the commercials that urge people over the age of 65 to call a toll-free number to discuss Medicare.

This one-hour course will discuss these claims as well as legitimate Medicare Savings Programs available to certain populations and how to get them if you qualify.2022-2023

Sound Baths-SummerEnrichmentDid you know that your body is composed of up to 60% of water? Have you ever run your finger along the edge of a glass filled with water to make it sing? Did you notice the way the liquid in the glass danced with vibration and sound? Sound Baths affect the cells of the body similarly, vibrating the water within us to create and immersive, meditative experiences. The different notes and vibrations will help relax the body and mind. Racing thoughts are quieted as the mind attempts to recognize patterns within the sounds. Eventually the mind stops and surrenders to the vibrations. A deep meditative state of relaxation follows. This is a great “end of the day” class that can reduce anxiety and stress and help facilitate a restful night’s sleep. Classes are about one hour and include a guided meditation with a sound bath using Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, and Chimes. Dress is loose, comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat or blanket to lay down and an eye pillow and water bottle.2022-2023
