Let’s meet for a Summer Solstice walk on Thursday, June 20 at 7 pm to kick off this wonderful season in Shorewood and connect with our neighbors! Movement, social connection, and being in nature are key elements of the Shorewood Longevity Project.

Meet at Humble Park, at the intersection of N. Oakland Avenue and E. Edgewood Avenue (outside the building of Sherwin Williams and Lakeside Natural Medicine).

Humble Park is known as a "pocket" park and is one of Shorewood's smallest urban parks.

We will meet at 7:00 pm and walk from Humble Park to the Shorewood Nature Preserve. (Distance is 0.9 miles, less than 2 miles round trip).

No RSVP's required, just show up. All ages welcome!

We'll have a healthy treat to share (No Bake Brownie Bites).

We will set out from Humble Park shortly after 7:00 pm and walk on the sidewalks towards the Nature Preserve. We hope to see you there!

We can’t wait for you to complete your Longevity Passport and earn your goodie bag full of prizes and coupons from local businesses. Here’s what makes us most excited:

🥦 Sarah: Coupon for free side of broccoli! We’re thrilled to partner with Culver’s. We are realistic and know that many people enjoy their 🍔, but maybe we can encourage people to make their order a little healthier by swapping fries for a side of 🥦. It’s all about balance!

🧘‍♀️ Heather: Free yoga class Move More Yoga. Love that we can walk to yoga for a hot or gently heated yoga class.

🏃‍♀️ Anna: Coupon for 10% off any item and a free pair of socks from Performance Running Outfitters. Can’t wait to buy a fresh new pair of 👟

🍹 Kate: Drink ZYN electrolyte packets. SO quenching thanks to the electrolytes and a hefty dose of turmeric in each packet to reduce inflammation.

💦 Cece: Water bottle. We paired up with Desty's Team and created a longevity stainless steel water bottle, making it easy to stay hydrated this summer!

🍵 Picture this: good company, steaming cups of ceremonial cacao and coffee, and lively conversations without the distraction of devices. Join us for our Digital Detox Hangout on Saturday, June 8 at Love Cafe to unplug, relax, and connect with neighbors and friends.

🤝Taking a break from screens not only gives your eyes and brain a rest but also allows you to fully engage with the people around you. It’s a chance to reconnect, share stories, and savor the simple pleasure of face-to-face interaction.

🧶📖Sit back and unplug with a book, journal, craft, board game, or just good conversation…all free of digital distraction in a relaxed, inspiring space.

🌎 The Longevity Passport is our summer initiative to help Shorewood residents create an environment and social circle to achieve a healthier and more enriched life. It is modeled after the library summer reading program.

🥬 🍓 🏊 🚶🏽‍♀️Example longevity passport activities include picking up trash at a park, eating 2 cups of greens, making a homemade smoothie, swimming in lake Michigan, walking with friends, helping a neighbor with yard work, and hosting a potluck.

🏆After you complete 16 activities, initial and turn in your passport at the Shorewood Public Library for a reward tote bag filled with prizes and coupons from local businesses. You do not want to miss out on this goodie bag!

The passports will be available starting Monday, June 3 at the Shorewood Library. You can also find them at local collaborative businesses and summer events.

One passport per household.

🤝Let’s do this together, Shorewood…because it’s easier to have a healthy lifestyle if you’re engaged with others who have a healthy lifestyle.
