2/19 Virtual Caregiver Tea: Color Me Calm

Caring for someone you love is one of the most meaningful roles a person can hold &mdash; and one of the most demanding. January&#39;s Caregiver Tea: An Evening of Meditation &amp; Sound Healing is an invitation for you to pause, exhale, and receive the same care you so generously give. What to Expect: Guests will gather at CenterWell Senior Primary Care (Wilkinson location) to enjoy warm tea, light refreshments, and a deeply calming sound healing experience provided by Racquel Washington, M.A. Using gentle tones, crystal singing bowls, chimes, and soothing instruments, Racquel will take you on a sound journey to support relaxation, stress relief, and emotional renewal. Please bring a yoga mat (if you would like to lie down) and a journal for reflection time. Bring your Loved One!&nbsp;To make true rest possible, we will provide on-site companion care for your loved one in the community room located within in the venue. While caregivers relax into the sound healing in the main area, elders will be engaged with gentle activities, conversation, and attentive supervision &mdash; close enough for peace of mind, separate enough for caregivers to fully unwind.
