Renewal Room
The organizers of the Congress wish to thank the New Rhythms Foundation for organizing the Renewal Room. Without their time and effort this unique component of the Congress would not be possible.
The RENEWAL ROOM is a space in the Conference Center where all are welcome to drop in to nourish mind, body and spirit. Attendees can rejuvenate with massage, t'ai chi, drumming, yoga, meditation, singing, dance, movement, stories and more!
Sessions will vary each day, running consistently for 45 minutes, starting each hour on the hours. Certain sessions, for example neck and shoulder massages, may require that people sign up ahead of time.
The RENEWAL ROOM is available, free of charge, from 10:00am to 4:15pm daily. Events are arranged to fit the flow of your day.
MORNING AT THE RENEWAL ROOM is a peaceful haven in which we nourish and renew our physical and spiritual selves. Here we can experience the tranquility of Tai-Chi, meditation, chair aerobics, morning stretch sessions, and other opportunities that inspire and empower body and mind.
MIDDAY AT THE RENEWAL ROOM is a space in which we revitalize ourselves with body work, massage, storytelling, singing, art projects, and other opportunities to play, release and recharge with our fellow attendees.
AFTERNOON AT THE RENEWAL ROOM is an electric and high-energy gathering place in which we 'de-stress' and refresh our vitality with the excitement and fun of drumming, singing, dance and laughter.
Please make sure to set time aside to visit the RENEWAL ROOM while you are at the Congress. If you have a skill that would make you an ideal facilitator for a session in the room, please consider submitting a proposal.
