Sept 16: Open New Doors with the Feldenkrais Method
Carie Fox, Founder of Your Body Wisdom

Life experience can lift us up through gained wisdom, competence and emotional balance — or quietly hold us back through fear, protective habits and ingrained patterns. Discover how to refresh your habits and strengthen the connection between your mind and body through gentle, chair-based movements inspired by the Feldenkrais Method — a movement-based approach to learning designed to help you feel better, move better, and live more freely.

Sept 30: Maintaining Mental Health As We Age
Marianne Straumfjord MD, MBA—NAMI Central Oregon board member and retired psychiatrist

Mental health is just as important as physical health—especially as we age. In this presentation, we’ll explore how anxiety, depression, and mood disorders can uniquely affect older adults, along with effective approaches to prevention, treatment, and support. We’ll also discuss how to recognize signs in yourself or a loved one, and how to move beyond the stigma to prioritize emotional well-being with confidence and compassion.
