Join us and Lisa George at the East Bay Branch for her Brightletics class on Ageless Grace Neuroplasticity Exercises.Brightletics, founded by Lisa George, offers an Ageless Grace Brain Health Program that follows 21 Simple Tools for Lifelong Comfort and Ease that can be practiced by almost anyone of any age or ability. The exercises are designed to be practiced seated, in order to stimulate the five primary functions of the brain (strategic planning, memory and recall, analytical thinking, creativity and imagination and kinesthetic learning) by doing unfamiliar movements, or creating new ways to do an activity that is already familiar. The movements are spontaneous and organic, with no need to learn any special choreography. Each of the brain-changing tools also focuses on a primary physical skill necessary for lifelong optimal function (i.e. joint mobility, balance, spinal flexibility, upper body strength, coordination) â and all promote the âThree Râsâ of Ageless Grace: the ability to respond, react and recover.

All striving to heal the nation and build A House United.The film is shown in partnership with Braver Angels and the Purple Assembly.Admission is free but you must register using this link or by scanning the QRC below.
