Living well, inside and out

Our programs and activities are thoughtfully designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit, helping each individual thrive in their own unique way.

Mind

Ignite your curiosity and embrace new challenges with opportunities like Village Shalom University, engaging creative classes, lunch-and-learn events, inspiring art exhibits at The Epsten Gallery, and exciting off-campus excursions. There’s always something intriguing to discover and endless ways to keep learning.

Body

Take care of your body at a pace that suits you. Enjoy a peaceful stroll along the walking paths, join aqua aerobics, yoga, or tai chi classes, master the fitness equipment, or work one-on-one with a personal trainer. With a variety of healthy dining options on campus, you can eat well and savor every bite!

Spirit

Nurturing your spirit can take many meaningful paths. We offer traditional and liberal Jewish services in our on-campus synagogue, along with monthly Catholic and Protestant services. Free transportation is available to local places of worship. You can also find peace and harmony with the world around you through nature, art, and serving others by volunteering.

Heart

Meaningful relationships and a supportive community are essential to emotional wellness, as is learning to navigate life’s changes with positivity and strength. At Village Shalom, you’ll find friends who feel like family and access to counseling whenever you need support. Together, these elements foster resilience and help make every day brighter.
