  Dancing Meditation Group
The Grace Cottage Hospital Community Wellness Center is hosting an ongoing Dancing Meditation group based on the 5Rhythms® dance practice. The meditation group meets on Saturday mornings, 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.

The 5Rhythms® practice puts the body in motion in order to still the mind. The five rhythms are: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. Anyone of any ability can move to the rhythms; there are no steps to learn.

Led by Patricia Burleson, group members will dance to 5Rhythms® founder Gabrielle Roth’s music, with lively percussion with a variety of other exotic instruments and voice. Group members may dance barefoot or with clean soft-soled shoes. The music lasts about 45 minutes and gives group members a few minutes to sit in the quiet.

A suggested donation of $5 per week is requested of group members. Walk-ins are welcome.

For more information about 5Rhythms®, call Patricia Burleson at 365-4201. To sign up for the group, call the Grace Cottage Wellness Programs phone, 365-3637.

Grace Cottage Hospital’s Community Wellness Center is located at 133 Grafton Rd. (Rte. 35), in Townshend.

The 5Rhythms® practice puts the body in motion in order to still the mind. The five rhythms are: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. Anyone of any ability can move to the rhythms; there are no steps to learn.

Led by Patricia Burleson, group members will dance to 5Rhythms® founder Gabrielle Roth’s music, with lively percussion with a variety of other exotic instruments and voice. Group members may dance barefoot or with clean soft-soled shoes. The music lasts about 45 minutes and gives group members a few minutes to sit in the quiet.

A suggested donation of $5 per week is requested of group members. Walk-ins are welcome.

For more information about 5Rhythms®, call Patricia Burleson at 365-4201. To sign up for the group, call the Grace Cottage Wellness Programs phone, 365-3637.

Grace Cottage Hospital’s Community Wellness Center is located at 133 Grafton Rd. (Rte. 35), in Townshend.

ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION's SELF-HELP PROGRAM – 6 WEEKS

June 3 through July 15; No class June 17

Instructor: Sindy Hassig, Grace Cottage Hospital Physical Therapist

For those with arthritis and related conditions, and their caregivers. The class focuses on how to manage arthritis and lead a more active, fulfilling life. Through engaging group discussion and easy-to-understand course materials, participants learn about joint anatomy and joint protection, as well as the importance of exercise, weight control, nutrition, stress reduction, relaxation, taking medications properly, and better communication with doctors.

One past participant reported that before the class, she needed two canes to walk and her pain level was ten out of ten. After taking the class and applying the lessons to her life, she now walks without a cane, and her pain level is greatly diminished. “This class saved me for sure. It’s wonderful,” she said.
