Rewire Your Mind for Joy 😊

Friday May 9, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Learn how to access the transformative power of presence by understanding and working with the mind’s natural binary operating system. This survival mechanism, while essential, often pulls us out of the present moment. In this eye-opening class, you’ll explore how to work with these patterns gently, reconnect to your five senses, and harness their role as a gateway to true presence. Discover how this deeper awareness helps you conserve energy, process emotions, and uncover a profound sense of joy in even the most ordinary moments. Presence isn’t a destination; it’s a way of being.

Harness Your Breath, Quiet Your Mind & Age Well 💙

Saturday May 10, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Learning Lounge

We do it all day, every day. It’s there, in the background, and
mostly we never even give it a thought. We breathe. We breathe
in, and we breathe out, without noticing that in addition to
keeping us alive, the constant and unconscious action of
breathing expands and contracts our diaphragm, assisting our
digestive track, and encouraging lymphatic movement and
blood flow. At the same time, our cranial, spinal, sacral systems
expand and contract with every breath, supporting our
neurological functions and the amazing thing is - with every one
of those unconscious breaths - we are quietly and continuously
rejuvenating. Imagine now, harnessing the power of your breath
and using that power for healing, well-being, and anti-aging?
In this session, Dr. Quinn will share the latest in breath research
and demonstrate how our breathing impacts how we live, how
we move, and how we age. Please wear comfortable
shoes.

4 Keys to Healthgevity 🧬 Living Healthier Longer

Sunday May 11, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Learning Lounge

Much of the literature on aging focuses on longevity, or living a longer life. But is that truly our ultimate goal? Perhaps what we really desire is to live a healthier, more fulfilling life for a longer period. This concept is referred to as "Healthgevity," where the years of good health outweigh the years of illness. In my experience working with older adults, I have identified four key elements of Healthgevity: gratitude, breathing, movement, and heart-healthy nutrition. While these elements are not new, when consciously and consistently integrated into our lives, they can lead us on a journey toward better health. I invite you to join me in exploring how we can embrace these four pillars of Healthgevity and create a healthier, balanced life for ourselves.
