A space for those living with dementia/Alzheimer’s and their care partners to come together and experience the wonder of nature.

A memory cafe is a social gathering for individuals living with dementia and their care partners. Guest are welcome whose dementia is due to any underlying condition, and at any stage of the disease progression. Care partners can include spouses, children, friends, and professional caregivers. Cafes strive for an atmosphere that’s more like a coffee house or a neighborhood party than a clinical program. Cafes provide a break from focusing on the disease and disability.

The Nature Connection Memory Café is all nature themed! The café is held inside our nature center filled with small animals, plants, and natural materials. Share your knowledge & learn from naturalist experts during hands-on explorations and activities each month – some examples include:

· An animal encounter with rabbits
· Exploring the frogs and salamanders of springtime vernal pools or
· Exploring & planting succulents of the desert
· Learning from nature experts about bees, fish, and more!

Give us a call at 978-369-2585 or check online for each month’s specific nature topic. There will always be variety and/or the option to just sit and enjoy the company of nature.
