Social Activities
The Social Activities Committee is working on the events that will take place this year. A survey has been distributed since the beginning of September but we only received three results. Let’s get some input from our snowbirds. Here is the survey:
1. What did you enjoy this past year?
2. Do you have an activity you would like to see us do?
3. What suggestions would you add for food choices?

Qigong classes
Nature Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is offering Qigong-Mindful Movement classes on Wednesdays, 3 PM, at 7633 N. Florida Ave. Citrus Springs.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is similar to a moving meditation. This ancient practice consists of gentle movement patterns, breath awareness, and a focused mindset designed to enhance vitality, deepen inner connection, and create space for your highest potential.
By gently moving stagnant Qi (life force energy) you can release blockages and feel balanced with effortless effort !
Our teacher, Alicia Martinez, is a Qigong Associate instructor as well as certified Yoga Instructor for adults and children.
Come join us for this weekly practice. No experience is required and instructor will provide modifications if needed.
