Healthy@Home Workshops
Learn how to transform your home into a safer, more comfortable, and more joyful place. Ayaplaces is proud to partner with Vivalon (formerly known as Whistlestop), a leading non-profit service organization based in Northern California, to present Healthy @ Home Workshops. This is a series of online sessions featuring leading home design and "living in place" experts as well as master teachers from a variety of different disciplines – from cooking to gardening and more.
Each workshop lasts 45-60 minutes, includes time for Q & A and, whenever possible, invites hands-on participation. They're open to anyone and they're absolutely FREE to attend.
Check out some of the exciting events we've lined up for the coming month. And, if you don't see something that sparks your interest, please feel free to let us know and we'll see what we can do!
