We are very excited about our programs this month that revolve
around the many facets of music. This year we will be introducing the
Music and Memory Program into our Wellspring community here at Aurora. We
have two events scheduled in the upcoming months and invite you to join us!
January 19th at 5:30 PM: ALIVE INSIDE SCREENING
An inspirational and emotional story left the audience humming, clapping and
cheering at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award.
The film dramatically portrays the power of music and memory. Refreshments will
be served following the screening along with discussion on how music impacts
each of us daily, especially those who live with dementia. See the trailer.
February 3rd at 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM: MUSIC THE MAGIC
HEALER AND CREATE YOUR PLAYLIST EVENT Presentation by Mindy Sterling, certified
Pathways to Memory specialist. Previously an international singer and musician,
Mindy toured with acts such as Don Henley of the Eagles and John Mellencamp.
Mindy uses piano and voice to help foster memories. She advocates using music
in senior care and feels Music and Memories is a pathway to this goal. We will
end the discussion by helping participants start their own personalized
playlist.
If you are unable to make any of our upcoming events, or have
questions about Music and Memory, please contact our Connections Director
