You, at Your Very Best

To live well is to live wholly. To continually nurture the mind, body and spirit so you can appreciate the goodness of life and find resilience when you need it. Wellness at Village Shalom is about creating opportunities for you to strengthen the intellectual, physical, spiritual and emotional aspects of your life. And with an abundance of choices, you can craft your own unique path to an even more fulfilling lifestyle.

Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. (National Wellness Institute)

Intellectual Wellness

Satisfy your curiosity and challenge yourself through Village Shalom University, creative classes, lunch and learn events, art exhibits at The Epsten Gallery, and off-campus excursions. There’s always something of interest to explore and fascinating ways to keep learning.

Physical Wellness

Care for your body at your own pace. You can stroll the walking paths; take aqua aerobics, yoga or tai chi classes; learn how to use the fitness equipment; or consult with a personal trainer. And with plenty of healthy dining options on campus, you’ll be able to eat well — and enjoy it!

Spiritual Wellness

Nurturing your spirit takes many forms. If you prefer religious services, we offer traditional and liberal Jewish services in our on-campus synagogue. We also host monthly Catholic and Protestant services, and provide free transportation to local places of worship each weekend. You can also find peace and harmony with the world around you through nature, art, and serving others by volunteering.

Emotional Wellness

Having meaningful relationships and being connected to a caring community are key elements of emotional wellness. So is learning how to navigate change in healthy ways. Here you’ll have friends who are like family, as well as counseling if you ever need it. It all works together to build resilience and make each day shine.
