The details

About this event

SPARK!: Spring Flowers & Mother’s Day at Schlitz Audubon offers a unique opportunity for individuals experiencing cognitive changes and their care partners to connect with nature. This thoughtfully designed program includes songs, stories, and visits with Nature School students, creating a warm and supportive environment.

The program often features a therapy dog, adding an extra layer of comfort and joy. Held indoors, with a chance for a short outdoor experience, it’s a gentle way to enjoy the beauty of nature and community. Shelly Rollins, who has been leading these programs since 2016, ensures a welcoming and enriching experience for all participants.

From the organizer

This program is specially designed for both people experiencing cognitive changes and their care partners. It is intended for those living in independent settings. Each month is devoted to learning about the simple beauty found in nature and how it enriches our lives. Participants will enjoy songs, stories, treats, and visits with our Nature School students. We often have a therapy dog join us to offer comfort and compassion. Programs take place inside the Auditorium, and in good weather include a short outdoor component, close to the building. Themes are seasonally based and change each month. Your program host is Shelly Rollins, who has been conducting SPARK! programs at Schlitz Audubon since 2016.

The room

Library rules. Whispers and a calm body — this is not a talking-out-loud room.
