Today's young adults are struggling — nearly half are still living at home, and Gen Z reports the highest rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, with young males four times more likely to experience deaths of despair. These aren't just statistics; they represent real risks with serious consequences for individuals, families, and communities. Dr. Jack Stoltzfus will explain what's driving this crisis and share his proven formula for helping parents launch their young adults into self-sufficient, independent lives while maintaining a strong, caring bond.

This class will focus on growing edible things--fruits and vegetables--rather than flowers. You'll get an overview of hydroponics and how it compares to soil-based gardening. We'll briefly review several common hydroponic techniques and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques. The focus of the class will be on one particular technique, "Deep Water Culture." A variation on this technique will be used in a simple, hands-on project you'll work on at home, which will involve growing a head of lettuce. The goals of this project will be to give you experience with some of the basics of hydroponic growing and to provide knowledge that will help you step up to more complex systems that are capable of growing a wider variety of crops, if you choose to do so later. You'll receive a kit with most of the supplies you'll need for the project, along with instructions on how to complete it at home

This session is an introduction to Forest Bathing, an ancient Japanese practice of spending time in nature, specifically in areas with trees, to enhance well-being. The term "bathing" is used because participants immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the forest (nothing to do with actual water or bathing). Learn more about Forest Bathing here. This event will include a brief overview of Forest Bathing and followed by a slow walk through the trails of Katherine Abbott park, allowing each person to observe and feel immersed in the surroundings. Participants must be able to walk the gravel (and in some places uneven) path. Wear bug spray or sunscreen as needed. Participants will be asked to silence phones during the session.
