Meditation for Care Partners
As busy care partners, it’s hard to find time to focus on your own health and well-being - especially when you’re navigating your caregiver journey. Join us on the second and fourth Thursday of each month as we make time for ourselves!
Guided meditation sessions for mind and body can help you:
- Observe yourself comfortably with peace of mind,
- Release your stress, worries, and negativity,
- Connect your mind and body together for energy and power,
- Stimulate your creativity and focus,
- Enjoy more insight and optimism, and
- Relax and sleep better!
No previous experience is required! Join us to develop a better ability to relax, focus, and find peace of mind as you navigate your caregiving journey with dementia.
Memory Cafe at Falls Church Arts
The café is an opportunity for caregivers and their loved one with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or in the early to early mid-stage of their dementia journey to meet with others for support, companionship, and fun! The program provides structured activities to promote reminiscence, cognition, and engagement. There is also time to share in conversation and get to know others in a safe, supportive environment.
The Memory Cafe at Falls Church Arts meets on the second and fourth Fridays of the month. This group is offered in partnership between Insight and The Kensington Falls Church. Insight staff will lead engaging brain games during the 2nd Friday session, and Sally Evans, Falls Church Arts Instructor will lead arts activities during the 4th Friday session.
To ensure we have space and program supplies for each participant, we ask that you please register in advance. We look forward to seeing you at the next cafe!
