We are grateful to the Lake Health Center for Geriatric Psychiatry for including our services in their patient discharge program. Our classes and activities related to the arts and alternative health care will be very beneficial to seniors struggling with mental illness. Any time we can use our talents and gifts to help others, we have achieved our goal.

Many thanks to the National Association of Retired Federal Employees for inviting us to speak at their meeting on Friday. We had a great question and answer session on ways to maintain physical and mental health as we age. They have asked us to host a health expo for them, and provide information and demonstrations on Reiki, Meditation, Yoga, Massage, Tai Chi, and Art Therapy. We’ll let you know when the date is set!
