Deciding whether to stay in your home as you age or move into a senior community is as practical as it is emotional. At Soulful Sage’s Social we’ll explore the costs, supports, and day-to-day realities of each option — and playfully debate what’s best for YOU. We’ll surface the attachments and fears that influence choices, challenge assumptions, and help you leave with clarity and next steps. Expect guided exercises, small-group conversation, and healthy snacks in a warm, interactive setting.
