Kudos to all staff and volunteers with Canadian Mental Health who were passing out daisies yesterday for Mental Health Awareness Week. What a lovely surprise we got at the EPSI office when we were presented with a bouquet. THANK YOU for all you do! (and for the daisies, of course!)

 

 

THE NEXT WEEK AT EPSI:

This Friday morning, the Photography Club will meet in the lobby of Credit Union Place near the EPSI office for a field trip, if weather permits.    Drop by and catch up on the photography club's plans!    Marvyn Ramsay is the contact.   Give us a call for more information.

OnTuesday May 15, from 7-8 p.m., EPSI is hosting a session on Backyard Birding. Birdwatching and feeding the birds are excellent PEI pastimes. Greg Feetham, a birder and photographer, will talk about how you can attract birds to your back yard and he will share some of the beautiful photos he has taken. We think this will be a really interesting and entertaining evening.

On Wednesday, May 16, from 10:30 - 11:30 in the morning, artist Joan Savage will show some of her landscape paintings from across PEI and share her stories of how she developed “Nature’s Healing Art”.

As usual, our sessions are at Credit Union Place, they are free, and they are open to everyone.

If you would like more information, please call Gloria at 888-2174

JUST A REMINDER.........

On Tuesday May 8, from 7-8 p.m., Leslie Strubel, a deep tissue massage therapist, will talk about Healing Bowls. Healing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, music, relaxation and personal well-being. Some health professionals using healing bowls include psychotherapists, massage therapists, cancer specialists, and stress and meditation specialists. We hope you will drop by Credit Union Place to find out more.

On Wednesday, May 9, from 10:30 - 11:30 in the morning, EPSI will host a session at Credit Union Place on Reflexology by practitioner Joan Savage. This is a natural healing art which can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing. Reflexology treats the whole person, and not only the symptoms of disease.

PLEASE NOTE that our sessions, although targeted to the 50+ crowd, are not restricted to that age group. All are welcome!

If you would like more information on either of these sessions, please call Gloria at 888-2174
