MEMORY CAFE'

WHAT IS MEMORY CAFE'?

A Memory Cafe' is a safe, supportive environment, designed to engage attendees in cognitive activities to perk up memory. The goal of The Park Forest Public Library's memory cafe' is to keep attendees mentally and socially active, which research shows is protective of brain health. The Memory Cafe' is free and open to all older adults with or without current memory concerns. Guest speakers are occasionally scheduled, and community resource information is available. All families, friends and their caregivers are welcome to attend.

MEDITATION FOR MEMORY CAFE'

Join Mr. Brian Thompson, CEO/Natural Wellness Innovator of BNEW4LIFE for "Release & Replenish" Meditation at our Memory Cafe'. Weve created a safe, pleasant space for those with Alzheimer's, Dementia or other memory loss and their caregivers to learn and practice basic meditation. Studoes show meditation and gentle breathing practices help decrease cognitive decline, reduce falls, increase brain power, and can help ease stress and frustrations. Let's build a community of comfort, care and sharing through meditation.
