Join us Wednesdays at tea time to share what’s working about growing older through short talks and long conversations. All ages are welcome to hear from our older adults in the community, to join in the discussion, and to create art.
The speakers who will kickstart the conversation on Wednesday September 25th are:
Dorothy Spevack- “Ear Seeds & Acupuncture”:
Dorothy is a social worker and NADA-trained Auricular Detox Specialist. She will present 5 point ear acupuncture/ear seeds as a wellness practice.
Leo Bottos- “Men’s / Mensch Shed”
Leo is an artist and engineer, and the volunteer lead facilitator at the Donald Berman Maimonides Geriatric Residence’s Men’s/Mensch Shed. In a Shed, men get together for activities like woodworking projects, cooking, bike repairs, music, etc. The movement started in Australia in 2007, expanding the tradition of backyard sheds into collaborative, communal spaces for the wellbeing of senior men.
As an older adult, if you or someone you know would like to sign-up to briefly introduce the inspiration for one of the teapot chats this fall, kindly reach out to Lindsay Clarke for more details (honorarium provided for speaker)
