The practice can be used in the reduction of pain and stress.

Wendy asserts that it's not till we mature that we can truly enjoy all that life has to offer. As we get older, she says, we become "more and more ourselves." There are challenges and losses, but ideally these shape our perspective and help us become the best possible version of ourselves. Wendy also explores the increasing importance of personal relationships and of spirituality for many people, including her own exploration of her Jewish faith and tradition. Whether you're moving towards mid-life or are fully into elderhood, come join us with noted local author, speaker and social worker Wendy Lustbader for an inspiring program.

13	14 Mapping the Future: Redistricting Mapping the Future: Redistricting Mapping the Future: Redistricting Tuesday, February 14 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. "You can't take politics out of politics, and there is nothing more political than redistricting." - Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) What are the political realities around redistricting? After census data determines population changes, the Washington Constitution requires that the Washington State Redistricting Commission be established to redraw legislative and congressional boundaries. This year with state population growth increasing by almost a million, the Commission was not only faced with where to put a new district but how to balance out all the others. Come hear Commission Chair Lura Powell who will walk us through the process, tell us about the two Republicans and two Democrats who were appointed, and how they reached consensus.
