Practiced at health care centers such as the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and Maine Medical Center, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Registration is NOT required, just drop by the Social Hub at Lifestyle Medicine Brunswick.

For more information, please call 207-373-6585.

LUNCH & LEARN with the Rockland Community Resource Center:  Advance Care Planning

Advance care planning is an organized process of reflecting upon and discussing goals for future health care decisions. It is an important part of creating an advance directive, which is a written plan that represents your individual preferences and tells others what medical care you want or do not want to receive if you become too ill in the future to tell them.

Join trained advance care planning facilitator Vikki Webster for this workshop at the Rockland Community & Resource Center at the Flanagan Community Center where you will begin the process of filling out your advance directive while enjoying a warm, fall lunch!
