Greetings Village!
I’ve been having so many conversations lately about opportunities to try something new to enhance one’s overall health and wellbeing. Whether it be a new movement activity, an educational class, or opportunities to volunteer in our community, I decided to create a small resource list to share with you.
I’d love to hear about your “go-to” resources to enhance your health and wellbeing as well!
In 1980, Westminster Presbyterian Church members Paul and Diane Neimann, launched the Westminster Town Hall Forum. Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, was the first speaker, and the Reverend Donald Meisel moderated. Since then, more than 250 speakers have addressed Forum audiences, including, among others, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel, Thomas Friedman, Cornel West, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, David McCullough, Marcus Borg, Marian Wright Edelman, Barbara Brown Taylor, David Brooks, Salman Rushdie, Gwen Ifill, and Bryan Stevenson.

The University of Minnesota provides senior citizens with opportunities in higher education. Minnesota residents who are aged 62 or older may enroll in courses at the University for reduced costs, either to audit or earn college credit, regardless of whether they have already earned a degree.
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Minnesota (OLLI at the UMN) is a vibrant learning community for people aged 50+.

And through Village Health I offer . . .
Breathwork Classes for Stress Relief
Each month I will guide you through different types of breathwork, so you can find one that “fits” your health and wellbeing needs. Many can be found on-line, but as I know from experience sometimes a scheduled session helps us to “show-up” and do the work.
Every Tuesday at 8am via Zoom
Foam Roller Massage and Stretch
In this class we will STRETCH AND MASSAGE your neck, shoulders, back, and legs. Doesn’t that sound wonderful???
Every Thursday at 8:30am via Zoom
In this class we will utilize the Pilates Reformer, Chair, Springboard, and Mat to get a full body workout.
Every Friday at 9am at the Long Lake Studio
If you are looking to try one of my classes, just contact me to sign-up!
With much love and gratitude,
Lesley
P.S. I’d love to create a wellbeing resource page on my website. What are your “go-to” resources to enhance your health and wellbeing?
