Take a walk with your neighbors. NEST members Nancy N. and Rosemary B. lead this group on 45 minute walks through Magnuson Park. This group meets in parking lot E4 at the north end of Lake Shore Drive NE.

THIS GROUP IS CURRENTLY FULL. Rebecca Crichton, Executive Director of Northwest Center for Creative Aging, welcomes NEST members to the first Discussing the
Undiscussables group. This will be a closed group inviting members to create deeper connections with each other to explore the many
topics we find it hard to talk about with others. Rebecca will share information and techniques that can support and connect us as we
age.


In our first session we will choose the order in which we want to explore the ‘Big D’s’ that challenge us as we age: The list includes Dependency, Disability, Dementia, Depression, Death and Dying and others. The intention is to provide a safe place to listen and connect. The more we are open to hearing each other clearly, the deeper our sense of trust and connection. The group will be limited in size and meet monthly with encouragement to connect with each other between meetings.

Quiet the mind. Experience a grounded and centered state using focused intent, breath, and body postures. Deeply relax and practice self-healing meditations in still (internal) and moving (external) forms.
Virtual class materials include: floor space, armless chair, stool, comfy place to sit, stand, or lie down for relaxation forms.

Limited space, please contact the NEST office to reserve your spot.
Join NEST for a peaceful and creative hour of
rock painting. We will provide the rocks, paints,
and soothing music, all you need to bring is your
imagination. Paint a calming mandala, a playful
strawberry, a favorite animal, or anything that
inspires you. The possibilities are endless. We’ll
be using water-based acrylic paints, so wear
something you don’t mind getting a little colorful.
When you are done, take your creation home for
your garden or gift it to someone special. Come
relax, unwind, and let your creativity flow. If this
session fills up and there’s enough interest, we may
offer it again in July — so don’t miss your chance to
be part of it!
