Helping Seniors Remain Independent Last year, The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond (TSCOR) gave 210 clients 1,300 rides to medical appointments and grocery stores with only 72 volunteer drivers. TSCOR faces challenges during this pandemic and the need for volunteers will only be greater once we all find our footing.

TSCOR clients are seniors 60 and older. They’re mobile and may have canes or walkers, but don’t use wheelchairs. They live independently, but for various reasons, no longer drive. Volunteering is easy. Volunteers choose who, when and where to drive using online scheduling. Pick up a client, drive them to their appointment, stay nearby until they’re finished and drive them home again. Grocery shopping is done either with or without the client.

TSCOR is the local affiliate of The Shepherd’s Center of America, a nationwide network that shares the mission of empowering older adults to use their wisdom and skills for the good of their communities. TSCOR has received a grant from the Pauley Family Foundation to increase their roster of drivers and reach underserved individuals and communities in the Richmond metro area.

To volunteer or for more information, call 804-355-7282 or visit TSCOR.org. See ad on page 2.

Bioenergetics to Support the Immune System Deise R. Russell is offering remote body-field scans in which clients can scan from the comfort of their own home with a palm-sized scanner device. The bioenergetics scan shows if the body-field is not responding properly to regulate the energy and information flow it needs to do its job of keeping the immune system strong.

Cutting-edge science has proven that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates in the physical body at the subcellular level called the human body-field. The idea of a “field” is well known in the world of physics. Albert Einstein said, “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle.”

Russell says, “When we improve the function of the bodyfield and we combine this with good nutrition and lifestyle choices, the body’s incredible healing system can take over and begin restoring the body to health.”

Project Yoga Richmond Launches Online Initiative Wellness educator Nitika Achalam has stepped into the executive director role at local nonprofit Project Yoga Richmond (PYR) and moved up the roll-out of their newly available selection of virtual experiences amidst the current health advisory. PYR’s pay-what-you-can model is dedicated to making yoga affordable and accessible to everyone in and around Richmond.

The selection of community programs available to the public is thanks to passionate PYR ambassadors that lend their expertise to lead the sessions. With their new subscription-based service connecting people with virtual classes, these yogis have the opportunity to teach during a time when in-person classes are not possible.

Achalam has been guiding yoga sessions since 1999 and served on the board for PYR since 2016. In addition to multiple yogic certifications, she has training and expertise in anthropology, botanical arts and energy healing.
