Learning to Dance with Dementia: When to Lead, When to Follow and When to Get Out of the Way
Mar 13 @ 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm
at The Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness.

Originally scheduled in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene,
a free dementia workshop is back on the calendar at The Episcopal Church of St. John in the
Wilderness. “Learning to Dance with Dementia: When to Lead, When to Follow and When to Get
Out of the Way” will be held on Thursday, March 13, 2025 from 1 pm until 3:30 pm in the Parish
Hall across the street from the church, located at 1905 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock.
Unlock the secrets to compassionate and effective dementia care at this workshop with Mary
Donnelly, a dynamic dementia consultant.  This interactive session offers insight and strategies to
help caregivers navigate the delicate balance of communicating with a person whose brain is
changing.
Discover how to harmonize your approach with the unique needs of the person in your care,
fostering a more fulfilling less stressful caregiving experience. Join us to enhance your skills and
learn how to dance gracefully through the challenges of dementia care.
Dementia has and is touching so many of our loved ones, including event organizer Ronnie Doty. “I
began this journey of dementia with my husband," Doty said.  "I used every resource available so I
could know what lies ahead.  If you are informed about the disease you can become a much better
caregiver."
Limited seating is available for this seminar but participants must RSVP by visiting
