Physical Wellness takes the focus this October. It's the part of well-being built from everyday choices, like staying active, eating well, sleeping well and keeping up with check-ups. This month's calendar leans into it with a full Active Aging Week, Zumba Gold, chair yoga at the farm and a free blood pressure clinic. The month also brings a fall festival in Woodland Park, a drive through autumn color on Skyline Drive, the start of a new Lyceum season and a first look at Cubigo, the new digital tool coming to campus in November.

The Shenandoah Valley Watercolor Society's 40th Annual Members' Show is on display in Park Gables Gallery at VMRC, featuring beautiful recent watercolor works by talented artists from across the Valley.

We invite you to explore this vibrant exhibition and celebrate a milestone year for one of our region's longest-standing arts organizations.

Financial Wellness takes the focus this September. It's a dimension of well-being that shapes everything from daily choices to long-term peace of mind, and this month's calendar leans into it with practical guidance on estate planning, account access, and protecting what you've built. Alongside those conversations, the month fills out with a dog show, an outdoor movie, the return of the intergenerational choir, and a week set aside to honor the people who make assisted living feel like home.

Two art exhibits are running concurrently at VMRC, one indoors and one outdoors now through August 22. In our Park Gables Gallery, Bob Adamek's Wildlife and the Wild Life will feature striking wildlife and live concert photography images.

Opening Doors: The Art of Inclusion is displayed outside along the Virginia Trail near Heritage Drive on VMRC’s campus.
