SUMMARY:Encore:  Life Lessons from a Nursing Home
DESCRIPTION:Irvin Yalom is a psychiatrist and author who once said\, “the physicality of death destroys us\, but the idea of death saves us”.  The wisdom of this statement is reflected in the paradox of the fragility of the human body and resiliency and life-affirming energy of the human spirit\, a paradox.  I witnessed often over many years in my work as a social worker in nursing homes throughout Connecticut and The Berkshires. \nAn Encore! program from the Spring 2025 seminar Writing to Remember – Blue and presented by Andy Wnuk.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Book Group
DESCRIPTION:This group is for people interested in reading both fiction and non-fiction books published within the last five years. The aim of the group is to spread our wings a bit and enjoy a wide variety of books (historical fiction\, humor\, memoir\, biography\, mystery\, thrillers\, romance\, current events\, history\, politics\, natural science\, etc.) \nEach month participants will choose among 2-4 books recommended by the facilitator and group members. Group members will vote on books two months ahead of time so there is enough time to procure and read the books. Membership capped at 14.  This group meets on the second Friday of each month. \nFacilitators: Finnegan Alford-Cooper
