Pooh is coming to Bayside Park!

Kai Bansner is bringing Pooh to AgeSong at Bayside Park. Kai explains how he met Pooh:
At ten I fell in love with a white cockatoo outside of a restaurant in Joga, Indonesia. 22 years later, I impulsively bought Pooh Baer, a Moluccan Cockatoo at a pet shop. Since then I have been playing catch up, visiting and studying Pooh’s wild relatives on the island of Seram Indonesia. I wanted to learn first hand how to give this exotic bird the best life as a companion parrot, by teaching him to fly outdoors.
Kai has the same twinkle in his eye and love of life and travel that his grandfather Erich has had throughout his adventurous life.

AgeSong at Bayside Park Welcomes French Visitors

Matthias and Myrianne, two medical students from France, are visiting AgeSong.  They both are fluent in English. Myrianne has a beginner’s knowledge of German and Italian.  She loves tap dancing, singing, running, fitness training,  and traveling. Myrianne says, “I feel concerned about making people feel good around me, and helping people who need to be assisted and who are losing their autonomy.” The students are interested in AgeSong’s philosophy and mission to counter the mainstream understanding of aging as decline and/or disease with a more expansive, humanistic, and creative vision and approach.
