The Six Dimensions Of Wellness At City of Spokane Parks & Recreation, we strive to provide programming that addresses these interconnected dimensions to bring a sense of wellness and fulfillment to all of our participants.

Physical: to provide opportunities to develop a healthy physical lifestyle through fitness programs, practicing sports, outdoor activities, etc.

Occupational: to equip the community with job training opportunities that expand their skill sets through internships, workshops, and certifications.

Emotional: to promote an overall sense of satisfaction and emotional wellness through learning a new skill, acquiring knowledge, boosting self-confidence, gaining autonomy, etc.

Spiritual

Social Educational: to provide experiential programs which expand participants overall knowledge of self, the community and its history, the environment, and culture.

Spiritual: to support participants living their values, by connecting with nature, the environment, and promoting a deeper appreciation for life.

Social: to foster human connections through providing access to open spaces, group activities, community events, recreation facilities, and volunteer opportunities.

Developed by Dr. Bill Hettler, co-founder of the National Wellness Institute, the six dimensions of wellness are: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, intellectual, and occupational.

It may also reduce inflammation, decrease stress, and improve sleep and flexibility.

Nei Yang Gong 1

6 weeks | ages 10+ | Jeff Thompson Known as “Nourishing the Interior from Within”, Nei Yang Gong strengthens the bones and tendons. It is also very helpful for creating balance of the four limbs, harmonizing the organs, and improving blood circulation. The form was developed by Dr. Liu Gui Zhen in 1965 as an expansion of the ancient practice of the Eight Pieces of Brocade (Eight Treasures). This form works to connect the energy of the lungs and kidneys to increase oxygen levels and improve energy. Our movement will pay attention to the gentle stretching, rotation, and extension of the spinal column. This is an excellent method for prevention and treatment of conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, digestive problems, hypertension and pain in the lower back and joints. Come learn these beautiful movements and prepare your body for Winter! Finch Arboretum Field House, 3404 W Woodland Blvd. $78 13616 Sat. 10/28-12/2 10:15-11:15am

LAWN BOWLING How-to-Lawn-Bowl Introduction

2 weeks | ages 16+ | Summer evenings on a manicured green next to the river. Rolling grapefruit-sized bowls up to 120 feet, aiming to leave yours closer to the small white “jack” ball than other bowlers. Enjoying summer sunsets, cooler air and companionable friends while improving aim, distance and scoring at this ancient royal sport. Lawn bowling is similar to bocce, but with a bonus: the bowls are elliptical, allowing rolls that curve around opponents’ bowls. We supply the bowls; you show up wearing flat-soled shoes. Pairs of us will show you the basics over four evenings spread over two weeks. Adults need the strength to roll the bowl 120 feet. Questions?

Supply list included upon confirmation of registration. $85 13471 Tues. 10/3 – 11/14 6:30 – 8:30pm 1 day | Ages 16+ | Tom Quinn It’s a common belief that no subject is more intimidating than a portrait. The best way to break through the intimidation factor is by learning the proportions of the human head and the anatomy of the bones and muscles.

Learning to observe the model closely and to draw what you see is another way to bolster confidence in portraiture. Mastering the human head can give an artist the confidence to draw any subject. Supply list included upon confirmation of registration.

Essential Eligibility Criteria Statement:

Essential Eligibility Criteria (EEC) are intended to be a communication resource for anyone considering participating in a Spokane Parks and Recreation *program. The safety and well-being of our participants and staff is a top priority for our programs!

Due to the inherent risks associated with our *activities, our programs are open to all individuals who meet the general and program-specific EEC independently or with the assistance of a **companion/trained aid. These criteria are not intended to be exclusionary, rather clearly outline the program’s requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about our EEC, please contact the program supervisor. We may be able to assist you with a ***reasonable accommodation.

General Recreation Essential Eligibility Criteria:

Participants must be able to complete the following criteria with or without the assistance of a companion/trained aide who accompanies the participant.

1. Arrive at the program’s meeting location on time and ready to participate.

2. Comprehend and follow instructions given to avoid hazards and/or manage risk.

3. Effectively alert others of personal distress, injury, illness, or the need for assistance.

4. Remain alert and focused for the duration of the program.

5. Wear all required safety gear according to manufacturer standards as necessary.

6. Contribute to a safe environment - inappropriate verbal or physical behavior is not tolerated for any reason

Terms/ Definitions:

* Activity/Program: The term ‘activity’ or ‘program’ describes any outing, trip, or event sponsored by Spokane Parks and Recreation. ** Companion/Trained Aid: In some circumstances, if an EEC can be met with the help of a companion/trained aide participants may be eligible to participate.

• Examples of companions/trained aides include service animals, translators, caregivers, or an individual that can assist a participant with physical, emotional, or communication requirements.

• In the case of a minor needing to meet an EEC with an aide, a parent/ guardian or responsible adult may act as an aide.

• Companions/Trained Aides must be able to complete all EEC. • Spokane Parks and Recreation will permit the attendance of a participant’s companion at no additional cost to the participant; however, the companion will be responsible for purchasing their own consumable resources/access fees (e.g. food, event tickets, etc.). For your convenience, these costs can be given upon request. Please contact the program supervisor for coordination. *** Reasonable Accommodation: An accommodation made that will not fundamentally change the nature of a program, would increase unnecessary risk to the participant or others, or would place an undue financial or administrative burden on Spokane Parks and Recreation.

PRIVATE TOURS! Private guided tours now available for the perfect couples, family, friends or business outing. Kayaking, standup paddle boarding, hiking and more!
