RIVER FALLS – Earlier this month, the River Falls Public Library launched its first Winter Wellness Series for adults. It is based on The Eight Dimensions of Wellness, a wellness framework developed by Dr. Swarbrick in the late 90s. These dimensions are identified as Physical, Spiritual (or Secular), Social, Intellectual, Emotional, Occupational, Environmental, and Financial. Understanding this model allows us to build new habits and find balance in our lives. In early January, this model was presented by Tonya Schmitt, owner of Mindful SOULutions. If you missed her presentations, you can still watch the recording of it online. Go to: https://tinyurl.com/tonyaschmitt From now until April 1, we have a variety of programs that touch on these areas of wellness, and many are hosted by local professionals in our wellness community. For more information about our programs, go to https://riverfallspubliclibrary. org/. There is also a fun game for adults to play with a chance to win fabulous prizes from the Library Foundation. We call it our Luminous Game. Come in and pick up a program brochure and game board. While you are here, sit for a while and try out our new Happy Lamps and foot massage machines donated by Heidi Roettger, owner of MBC Collaborative and Tonya Schmitt.
