Lunch and Learn with MacDougall Aging Advisory
When They Don’t Think They Need Help
Supporting an Aging Loved One While Preserving Independence
Join Kaylyn MacDougall, Founder of MacDougall Aging Advisory and Certified Dementia Practitioner, for a light lunch and an informative conversation about a challenge many families face: recognizing when an aging loved one may need additional support, even when they don't see the need themselves.
Together, we'll explore why accepting help can be difficult, how to approach these conversations with compassion, and practical ways to introduce support while respecting independence and personal choice.
Bring your questions, share your experiences, and leave with helpful ideas for navigating the aging journey with someone you love.

Celebrate the beauty of summer through making.
Begin your day with an inspiring, hands-on exploration of botanical eco-printing using fresh flowers. In this course, you’ll learn the Japanese eco-printing technique, Tataki-zomé —a natural eco-printing process that captures the crisp shapes, colors, and textures of flowers directly onto fabric.
In this 3-hour workshop with Sue from the Attic Stitch, you’ll design and create your own floral wreath tote bag, build a personal palette with seasonal flowers on fabric.
You will learn how to achieve clear, detailed prints using the Tataki-zomé hammering technique, along with the basics of fabric preparation and color fixing—so you can continue exploring eco-printing at home.
