March 2016 Events in Louisville, CO: Your Treasure is Within


As we bring down the curtain on our Creative Expressions series we focus this month on Drama. Juliette Binoche said, “I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.”

Through dramatic performance we are able to forget about ourselves while becoming someone else, if only for a moment. We can be transported to another time, another place and another way of thinking. With all of our inhibitions set aside we focus this month on breaking out of our shells to share a bit of ourselves with wild abandon through our weekly drama clubs which will culminate in a fantastic performance or reading of dramatic prose. We invite you to join us in this enlightening journey of self-discovery through the magic of theater this month. We will also be attending theatrical performances around town, where we can let our inner critic loose. One last opportunity to become someone else is offered during our Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations, where everyone can be Irish for the day. Join us as we feast on traditional Irish foods such as corned beef and cabbage, soda bread, shepherd’s pie and more! Lastly, March would not be complete without honoring the dramatic achievements of others with our own Oscar Party. This month we invite you to let your inner star shine at Juniper Village.

Our fabulous March 2016 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville include our:

§  Experiential Effectiveness as we are honored to have Leslie McKormic with Revolutions, LLC and Molly McLean co-present on this therapy that involves actions, movements, and activities rather than the more traditional “talk therapy” because music and movement can be an essential tool for connecting with our residents, and we’ve found it to be very effective with our residents here at Juniper, so come join us for this event so that you can learn how to use experiential movement therapy successfully on March 11th at 4:30 pm.

§  Blarney Bash as it has been said, “There are only two kinds of people in this world, the Irish and those who wish they were,” and we should all celebrate as such, so don’t forget your green before joining us in the exciting performance of the Irish Dancers, as all will have the opportunity to Kiss the Juniper Blarney Stone, that is said to grace us with the gift of gab, and we don't stop there because we will also have an entirely green sweet bar, so we hope you can join us, and may the luck of the Irish be with you on March 17th at 10:30 pm.

§  Easter Brunch because at Juniper we know how to do Easter Brunch right, and we have the most amazing brunch that our wonderful Chefs make, that combined with the company of friends and family make this a cherished holiday, that we are so well known for, and grandchildren bring in smiles and bundles of energy as they race around the courtyard eagerly looking for the golden Easter eggs, and we do mean pure gold, well, at the very least they will have candy which by our standards is as good as gold, and we will have a visit from the Easter bunny who will be teaching everyone how to do the Bunny Hop (because how else would anyone celebrate Easter than by dancing), so make sure to join us for this fantastic event on March 26th at 10:30 am.

We look forward to sharing our March 2016 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville with you as Your Treasure is Within.
