The premier programming and enrichment resource for today’s seniors
Inspiration & RelaxationIn December I attended an amazing 2-day workshop hosted by Dr. Eben Alexander, neurosurgeon, and New York Times bestselling author, and his colleague Karen Newell, co-founder of Sacred Acoustics. At this workshop, Dr. Alexander discussed his 2008 near death experience (NDE) that led him to authoring the NY Times bestselling book Proof of Heaven.
When I first started out as a Lifestyle Director I was beyond excited and completely terrified. My community was still under construction, and I had the awesome opportunity to build an enrichment and lifestyle program (a culture really) from the ground up. This is often an advantage, but for someone new to the industry, I had little precedent or reference to rely on.
Naturally, in the beginning, I second guessed myself and had my doubts. What did I know about seniors and their interests and abilities anyways!?
