We had an amazing morning with Janelle Lass from Minnesota Minimalist. The room was loud, lots of conversation, and laughter! Everyone walked away motivated, excited to do a little decluttering, organizing, and begging for another class! We are already in talks on making that happen so stay tuned!

🚨 Almost full! 🚨
This one’s going fast and we see why.

20 people are already registered and there are only 4 spots left in our needle-felted rosemaling class hosted by the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center .

This hands-on workshop kicks off a new heritage-inspired series celebrating local traditions and culture. You’ll learn how to create a beautiful needle-felted rosemaling design inspired by Norwegian folk art. No experience needed. Just show up with curiosity and enjoy a relaxed, creative afternoon.

If you’ve been on the fence, this is your nudge. When it’s full, it’s full.

💲 Cost: $28

New year. New calendar. Same wonderful you. 😉

Instead of a mile-long list of resolutions, try picking one word for 2026. A word that sets the tone. A word that gently nudges your choices. A word you can come back to when life gets loud.

And here’s the good news. It’s never too late to live your year more intentionally. January, June, or a random Tuesday all count.

It might be something you want more of. Something you’re ready to practice. Or something you’re finally giving yourself permission to claim.

If you’re comfortable, share your 2026 word in the comments. Let’s steal inspiration from each other in the best possible way.

Parkinson’s doesn’t come with an instruction manual. But it does get easier when you don’t go it alone. 💙

Join us each month at Elevate for our Parkinson’s Support Group, a welcoming, low-pressure space to connect with others who truly get it. Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s or supporting someone who is, you’ll find real conversation, shared understanding, and encouragement that sticks.

Each gathering includes a short presentation on topics that matter, followed by open Q&A and plenty of time to talk, listen, and connect. No pressure to share. No pressure to have all the answers. Just good people, honest conversation, and support that feels real.

🎁 2025: Unwrapped 🎁

From three people at our very first Yoga 101 in 2023 to 11,000+ connections in 2025, this year still blows our minds. We hosted thousands of moments that mattered, gave rides, shared meals, caught health issues in real time, helped people travel, supported memory care families, and proved that aging can be active, connected, and actually pretty fun.

The numbers are cool. The impact is cooler. And it all happened because this community showed up with ideas, hugs, generosity, and heart. 💛

Come be part of the fun in 2026!

We’re kicking off a new Exploratory partnership with the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center, and we’re pretty excited about it. Together, we’re introducing a heritage-inspired art series that highlights the traditions, stories, and creative roots that shape our community. Each month brings a hands-on workshop led by talented local artists who know how to make history feel both meaningful and fun.

Sessions will rotate between the NYM Cultural Center and our Elevate conference room, giving you a chance to experience both creative spaces. From folk techniques to culturally rich crafts, every workshop offers something to learn, something to make, and something to enjoy.

Here’s what’s coming up in the series:
• January 14 | Needle-Felted Rosemaling -- already has 18 registrants!
• February 11 | Scherenschnitte Heart Design
• March 11 | Barn Quilt Coaster Set
• April 8 | Polish Spring Chickens
• May 13 | Finnish Stamped Tea Towels
