Wednesday, April 8th and May 13th

11:00 AM to 12:15 PM

Join us this Spring for two special sessions of our “Mindfulness in Nature” class designed specifically for those living with dementia and their caregivers. These sessions will include short guided sitting and standing meditation with nature imagery, a Mindful slow walk on the trails, and a nature-based group activity utilizing the senses. This event is appropriate for those with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Mild to Moderate Dementia*, and attendance with a caregiver is required. Additionally, all in attendance must be fully mobile without a mobility aide, and must be comfortable walking across varied terrains, including both paved and unpaved trails.

Cost is $40 per pair- per session. Registration for both sessions is preferred, but sign-up for each session is available. There is limited space in this program. Please contact Kevin Roth at kroth@pennypacktrust.org if the class is full and you would like to join the waiting list. Please list the names of each person attending and specify the name of the caretaker in the comment section of the registration.

Optional – bring your own picnic lunch for afterwards at the picnic tables. We can have lunch together! We hope to continue these sessions monthly in the Summer, so please consider coming back for those! In the event of inclement weather, we will reschedule.

*Please note that the degree of impairment should not place the person with dementia at risk of becoming lost, becoming agitated and/or aggressive, or otherwise a risk to themselves or others.

*This program is being developed in consultation with the Penn Memory Center.
