Green Sleeve Free Advance Care Planning Workshop

The Sunshine Coast Hospice Society invites you to a free Green Sleeve Advance Care Planning Session at the Gambier Community Centre.
 
Advance Care Planning is about making choices for your future health care, ensuring your wishes are known and respected. It's a thoughtful and loving gift to your loved ones.

This session is particularly significant as we navigate the loss of some of our long-time island friends and neighbours. We approach this gathering with sensitivity and awareness, understanding the importance of these conversations, especially in times like these in our small community.

Learn more about the Green Sleeve program, which provides comprehensive resources and support for Advance Care Planning, at www.coasthospice.com/green-sleeve.

Let's come together in a warm and supportive environment, ensuring our voices are heard while we can make decisions for ourselves. Spread the word, and plan on attending this learning event and conversation. You'll get information and a Green Sleeve kit which holds all the instructions and documents you'll need.

Yoga with Barb Crompton

Fridays, June 7-August 16, 2024, 10am

Come and experience deep breathing practice lying on your back and stomach, using props to enhance your “letting go” of tension and tightness.  Your restorative class is about muscles that need to be strengthen and stretched for good postures. Therefore we will focus  on strengthening the core and upper back and stretching the chest, back and hip muscles to support your spine and improve your posture. In the class your mind will slow down, reflecting on the sensations in your body and the calmness of your being. You will leave the class feeling rejuvenated, restored and revitalized.

$15.00 drop-in or a 10-visit card for $100.00 ( $10.00 per class and you can share the card with someone else). Please email Barbara at barbara.crompton@gmail.com to let her know when you plan to attend.
