Monthly Health & Happiness Series
As part of the Aging Rainbow Coalition's mission to foster community, we host monthly Health & Happiness Events. These gatherings take place on the third Wednesday of each month from 2-4 pm at various locations. Together, we engage in meaningful discussions on important topics, support one another, and have fun along the way.
Topics for Aging. Community for ALL.

Area Special Events
The Date with Death Club is a non-dogmatic exploration of our mortality in community, ranging from philosophical to spiritual, from humorous to informational. This program provides a safer and brave space to explore the taboo topic of our mortality and the possibility of living a more awake life by facing the reality of our death. Some sessions will focus more on exchanging concrete information and others will focus more on self-reflection and strengthening emotional resilience.
No fee to attend. All are welcome, regardless of spiritual or religious affiliation. You can RSVP by clicking HERE .You do not need to RSVP to attend. You are welcome to drop in.
