Monday, December 2, 2024 - 12:00pm
Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Mary Keehn, We Are Up & Tracey Barnes Priestley, Life Coach: Learn about the progress of We Are Up, and its new plans. Housing is not the only thing we need as we age, and it is not the only thing an adult with disabilities needs. We Are Up is building an integrated, inter-generational community for adults with and without disabilities that will offer secure housing, income opportunities, and mutual support systems. Residents will be connected to the community at large through a community center, farm-to-table food production, and conservation of open spaces.
Mary Keehn, founder of We Are Up, is also the founder of Cypress Grove Cheese. She is the most recent past chair of Humboldt Area Foundation, a member of the Donors Circle social justice group, and for the past four years the guardian of her 16-year-old granddaughter who has autism.
Tracey Barnes-Priestley, M.A., is a life coach with a master’s degree in community counseling psychology and more than 40 years of experience as a counselor, educator, and consultant. After closing her private practice, she continues to write about aging issues on her blog, The Second Half.
We Are Up is building a vibrant and inclusive community in rural Northern California’s, Humboldt County that welcomes people across differences and honors our natural world. On its beautiful 17-acre site, neighbors with diverse abilities, ages, and socioeconomic backgrounds will live, learn, work, and thrive together. Visit the We Are Up website for more information.
The presentation will begin promptly at noon.
