Winter Solstice Meditation

Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center invites cancer patients to a virtual Winter Solstice Mediation.  On December 21, when the world tilts towards darkness, there is an opportunity to embrace a turning inward.  At this pivotal moment on Thursday, December 21, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, Adrian Roman leads this virtual meditation to celebrate the winter solstice and prepare us for the darkening days of winter.  In this session meditation practices and dialogue will focus on topics such as stillness, quiet and renewal.  If you do not have access to a computer at home, you may be access this event at the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center, 23 Commerce Park, Ellsworth, Maine.  Register here.  For more information about this event or receive help with registration call the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center at 664-0339 or email: info@bethwrightcancercenter.org.

Finding Connection Through Food

Cooking Meals Together:  Nutrition education, cooking, and eating together offer a myriad of benefits for older adults including increased social connection, enhanced nutrition and health, improved appetite, and enriched quality of life. What are we doing around New England to bring older folks together for shared experiences around food? Join the Tri-State Collaborative on Aging in this webinar to hear from organizations who are cooking together to promote better social and health outcomes for older adults in their communities.  Closed captioning will be available.  If you can’t join us live, this event will be recorded for later access.  Register here.
