Holistic Wellness October Class Highlights

By Christine Hall

Holistic Wellness Week
Monday, October 6-10
All Day, FTJ Wellness Center

We invite you to join us for our 2nd Annual Holistic Wellness Week as we celebrate Active Aging Week through a holistic lens. Holistic wellness is essential for aging adults, as it nurtures the mind, body, and spirit, empowering individuals to stay active, connected, and purposeful. By embracing all aspects of well-being, we can create a vibrant path of aging that supports resilience, joy, and quality of life at every stage.

Each day will highlight different events that offer a holistic taste of the many pillars of well-being. This is a wonderful opportunity to try something new, invite your friends, and share in meaningful experiences. We are so grateful to be on this journey of growth and learning alongside you!
