Diabetes Education Classes

FREE for ProActive members and $40 for nonmembers, these sessions are designed to help you manage your diabetes by monitoring your blood sugar, taking insulin and balancing food with exercise. The education is presented by Samantha Beaubier, ProActive's registered dietitian, and Sharon Duffy, ProActive's registered nurse.

A minimum of six participants is required. Please sign up at the Front Desk.

Journal Writing: More than creative expression, it's a holistic way to a healthier you

Journal writing helps organize complicated lives and integrates a personal, lower-stress approach to resolving conflicts. Journaling can resolve traumas that stand in the way of important tasks, help to recall significant events, capture creativity and discover what is sacred to the author. A journal provides a gentle and safe setting where healing can take place. It offers one place where pieces of your life can come together. Sign up for one of the three-part sessions.

Preregistration is required. Sign up at the Front Desk. A minimum of six participants is needed. If you would like, you may purchase a journal for $10. Contact Sharon Duffy, RN, MS, Madonna ProActive's wellness and holistic nurse and course instructor, 486-7787.

Labyrinth Class

Explore spirituality as an element of holistic wellness. People of all faiths, or those who are in transition or struggling to find a means of prayer or meditation, are invited to experience a ProActive labyrinth class.

Join us to learn about this ancient meditation tool of prayer and become "a spiritual being on a human path, not simply a human being on a spiritual path."

Orientations can be scheduled privately or as a group. There is no fee for the 30-minute session. Please contact Sharon Duffy, RN, MS, at 486-7787 to learn more or arrange a meeting time.
