Recognizing that older adults have much to celebrate, discover, and share, Pathways Institute was established by Messiah Village to find meaningful use of their talents and abilities. Pathways Institute provides older adults with opportunities to engage in mental, cultural and spiritual activities promoting their overall wellness.
Pathways Members Can:
- Engage in activities that promote wellness
- Enhance spiritual growth and well-being
- Share their own legacies, knowledge and expertise by teaching, mentoring or leading discussions with peers
- Engage in service to others and the community
- Participate in unique intergenerational experiences
- Enjoy continued learning in a variety of educational settings
- Attend and participate in lectures and courses
- Attend cultural enrichment events and programs at various locations
In the pursuit of Lifelong Learning, the Institute focuses on three key components:
Personal Development Path
Promotes continued learning opportunities, personal enhancement, and spiritual growth.
Service Path
Provides venues for seniors to share their knowledge, beliefs, and life experience with others.
Legacy/Sharing Path
Fosters gnerativity of older adults through opportunities to pass on wit and wisdom for future generations.
Classes, cultural events and activities are developed to meet the personal interests of members, but are also designed to offer opportunities for growth in each of the identified areas.
The Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning gives older adults many reasons to celebrate life!
