Thursday, January 6th, 6:00-8:30p.m. Dialogue: "Healthy People, Healthy Planet: Making the Connections Between Wellness and Sustainability". Presented by Integrative Medicine @ Brown, in partnership with the Apeiron Institute for Sustainable Living. The event will take place in Sayles Conference Room 1 at Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island on 111 Brewster Street in Pawtucket, RI. The agenda will be as follows: 6:00 p.m. Refreshments and networking; 6:30 p.m. World Café dialogue and networking. This fun and inspiring evening will forge new connections among Rhode Island’s wellness and sustainability communities, to discover new ideas and solutions that support wellness of people and the health of our planet. The World Café is a highly interactive meeting format which offers the opportunity for lots of small conversations and mingling. After a brief introduction to sustainability principles and holistic health principles, we will explore two BIG questions relevant to caregivers and sustainability professionals alike: How could we bring the goals of personal health and sustainability together in how we work for positive change? And how would your lifestyle and caregiving/sustainability work change if your own wellness, the wellness of the people you serve, and the wellness of our environment were equally important? This event will be facilitated by Beth Tener and Pat Daniel of New Directions Collaborative.
