Welcome to

Power 9 University!

Move Naturally Theme:

TUESDAY, JUNE 29TH AT 6:00 PM

To encourage school-aged students to Move Naturally over the summer. Blue Zones Project partnered with local organizations to Connect and get grooving! We asked community seniors (ages 55 + up) to teach students a fun dance they enjoy. In return, students came together to teach a new dance to the seniors. Tune in to learn some new moves!

Gardening with Purpose Theme:

TUESDAY, JUNE 29TH AT 6:30 PM

Featuring local Master Gardeners and a 4H Leader that live their life with Purpose and a passion for seeing things grow. This session will highlight the importance of finding your Ikigai or Plan De Vida from the original Blue Zones areas. Translating to, "why I wake up in the morning." You may also learn some gardening tips along the way!
