Engaging the mind, body, and spirit is the philosophy we live by daily at Juniper Village at Aurora. We do this in many ways, both big and small. One way we we engage all of our senses, is through the Red Hat Society. In 1998, The Red Hat Society was founded by a woman who gathered a group of ladies wearing decorative red hats, purple clothing and feathered boas. Juniper Village at Aurora formed its own Red Hat Society and our ladies love sporting the purple and red!
Another way we engage our mind, body and spirit is through our Alive in All Seasons program. During the month of January, our Alive in All Seasons theme is music. Our Connections Program is filled with musical events and interactive song to fill our spirit. As we celebrate music in January, we invite you to attend a performance by Leonard Barrett, Jr. on January 25, 2011 at 3:00pm as he pays tribute to famous artists such as Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Marvin Gaye, and Frank Sinatra.
Day, the Irish Step Dancers performed at their best, as expected from years prior at Juniper Village, and the residents and families had a grand of a time too. So, with Colorado getting a taste of spring, it is that time that us Coloradans know that the April snow showers just may bring our May flowers. The blooming of flowers and the budding of trees is another aspect of spring that allows us to relate and find our treasure within.
The Juniper Village Family joined in harmony as we gathered for our Winter Wonderland Open House on December 16th. We reflected on the events and memories we had of 2010 as we celebrate bringing in the new year. Carolers brought joy and the holiday spirit as the residents and staff joined together to sing well known Christmas carols while enjoying the tasty treats family and friends prepared for Juniper. As we approach the new year, welcome new beginnings, and reminisce about the days that had our spirits bright, we begin to appreciate the little things in life.
