March: Celebrate the Celts!
March! At Christopher Heights we’re excited about lengthening days, College Basketball, and all things Irish! Join us in gleaning spiritual insights from Anam Cara, a book of Celtic wisdom, or in exploring the works of Dylan Thomas, Seamus Heaney, and other Irish writers in our monthly literary group. On warmer days join Activities staff for an impromptu after-lunch walk around Village Hill. We’ll be headed for the Community Gardens –filled with blooms -- in no time!
From Wild to Mild: On Domesticating Animals
2:00pm Tuesday, March 10th
Learn about the domestication of the dog and various farm animals -- sheep, goats, pigs, cattle and horses – in this engaging lecture. Content will include how and why various animals are made tame, as well as the historical significance of this phenomenon. As many residents have had experience with one or more of the animals discussed, there’ll be an opportunity at the end of the lecture to share one’s experiences.
New!Art/Craft Buffet -- Classroom
Zen Doodle, adult coloring, collage, and recent crafts have been so popular that we decided to make these available 24-7. Drop by the classroom to check out a weekly art/craft prompt – or just to relax with suggested activities, music, and supplies.
