Dinner with Friends

Started in 1995, Northaven now has a number of small groups called "Dinner with Friends" that gather for the warmth and hospitality that help build a sense of community. These dinner groups simply give Northaven people the opportunity to know each other at a deeper level. If interested in knowing more , please contact Jack Evans or Connie Marshall.

Each class begins with a quiet meditative time at the beginning of class (a few minutes).  Afterwards we do a warm-up period for the major joints in our body. (neck, shoulders, spine, hips, knees and ankles) Following the warm-ups we proceed to learn and practice the moves that make up a Tai Chi for Health routine.  The class concludes with a cool down.  Come join us.
