To cap off our Lifestyle Redesign course, we develop our own 5 week group program as a team. Each team gets to decide the theme or lifestyle area they want to address as a group; some group topics include “sensory strategies for wellness,” “life management skills” (e.g., finances, time management, etc.), and “healthy eating.” My group theme is “exploring recreation,” so each week, one of us leads the rest of the group in trying out a new recreational or leisure activity. Here’s a peak at some faves.

Team Slacklining

I kicked off our 5 week program by teaching the group one of my favorite occupations: Slacklining!

We caused quite a scene in front of our building to the point that our Occupational Science professor, Don Gordon, came out to join the fun!

Team Bellydance

Last week, my classmate, Talin, led 5 of us in one of her favorite occupations: belly dancing.

Check us out with our hip scarves! Our Lifestyle Redesign professor, Camille Dieterle, joined us in the dance too, but we were having too much fun to take any action shots.

Our group is also going to explore cooking, coloring, and gymnastics. It’s a really fun class, but I’m about ready for a nap . . .
