Blossom IDD, Blue Lotus Center, Happy Place, & Special Olympics Collaboration

Embark on an enriching journey through the seasons with Four Seasons to Flourish, a holistic wellness program designed to nurture community, promote health, and create meaningful connections. This quarterly retreat series invites participants and their families to explore the beauty of each season through engaging activities, hands-on learning, and supportive environments.

This opportunity is open to 15 participants per session and one parent/caregiver to join (a total of 30 people)! In the event that a parent/caregiver is unable to join please reach out as we would still love to have you included!

Program Highlights:

• Cooking and Nutrition: Seasonal cooking classes where participants prepare meals and snacks, fostering independence and healthy eating habits.
• Fitness and Recreation: Activities like snowshoeing, nature hikes, and water-based fun tailored to the season.
• Wellness and Reflection: Yoga, art, meditative, and other practices that encourage mental self-care and mindfulness.
• Community and Connection: Social opportunities and parent/caregiver support sessions to strengthen relationships and provide valuable resources.

With the collaboration of trusted partners, this program is perfect for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers. Each retreat is held at the serene Blue Lotus Center and includes a delicious community lunch prepared by participants.
