Such good advice!

Join us today for some Music!

The Healing Power of Music has been an amazing discovery for me. The upcoming Music Therapy Forum is the culmination of the research on best practices and how to use music as a resource.

Yes, we developed it for those with dementia, but research has shown that it has many benefits for all of us. For me, it has been a wonderful stress reducer when I turn off my computer at 4 PM every day (well most days). Our keynote speaker, Dr. Carol Rosenstein has guided us in the development of this Forum content. She is a recognized international authority on the subject.

Today - Saturday 11/4, 10:30-2:30, lunch included! Burlingame Hall at the Congregational Church on Spain St.
