​​

Roundtable Discussion

​

Led by Ann Peterson and Jenn Chan, attendees will learn about the importance of self-care and share about their practices and experiences.​

​

Breakout Sessions:

​

1. Laughter – Presented by Vivian Silva

Learn about the benefits of humor for caregivers and their loved ones. The presenter’s role as a caregiver, including tips from clients, will provide ways to bring humor and laughter into the caregiving experience. Even a smile counts to keep caregivers on a healthier path.

​

2. Chair Yoga – Presented by Mythri Jegathesan

​​​

This 30-40 minute session of chair yoga will focus on a set of movements (in short sets) that build an awareness of bodily rhythm, breath, and expansion. It will encourage you to cultivate an appreciation of the range of experience that your body can access and feel throughout any part of your life-course and can be done at any time or in small increments of time during your schedule. Our goal, in the frame of self care, is to experience how any kind of mindful movement as a practice can give us pause to our usual daily activities and serve as a form of rejuvenation and pause.

​

3. Drumming – more details coming soon.
