Stress isn’t just something we feel — it’s something the body experiences. As we age, our ability to adapt to everyday stressors changes, and unmanaged stress can quietly impact sleep, mobility, energy, focus, and overall quality of life. We’ll explore the four main types of stress that affect the body — physical, chemical, emotional/mental/spiritual, and technological stress — and how each one influences the nervous system across adulthood and into our later years. This presentation is led by Dr. Abbie Goodman, chiropractor and owner of Inspire Family Chiropractic, a nervous system–focused practice dedicated to supporting individuals and families through every stage of life.

Technology use can actually cause structural changes in the brain. Pings, alerts, rings, and notifications can shift our focus in a way that can lead to long-lasting difficulties with paying attention. Difficulties paying attention can lead to poorer performance on academic, personal, and professional tasks. Let’s embrace neuroplasticity, be mindful and balance our technology use.

You know how heartwarming it is to receive a handwritten card in the mail? This class is the opportunity for you to learn how to make simple cards that will be a joy for you to send. In each class, Janice will teach a new design layout, and you will leave each session with four completed cards. The cards will be generic enough to be used for many occasions (e.g., thinking of you). Artistic talents are not required for this class. All you need to bring along is a pair of your favorite scissors, and we will provide the rest of the supplies.
