No prep required – and if you drop in mid-series\, we’ll catch you up. \nCRAFT WHILE YOU CONVERSE\nWant to keep your hands busy while you listen? Bring a craft or try your hand at basket weaving with artist Melissa Knight of Batik by Design. Materials provided. Basket weaving is totally optional. \nDIGGING DEEP\nOccupational Therapists and Certified End-of-Life Doulas Michelle McCarty and Melissa Saffron of ReInventing Independence guide a conversation inspired by the story each week. Expect thoughtful conversation\, practical tools\, and resources around aging\, caregiving\, medical decision-making\, memory loss\, independence\, legacy\, and planning ahead. \nCome to one session or all eight – we’ll catch you up. \n📅 Thursdays\, Sept 10-Oct 29 | 6-7:30pm\n📍 Yarborough Branch\, Austin Public Library | 2200 Hancock Dr\, Austin\, TX 78756\n🎟️ FREE!
