Based on the ideal of neighbor helping neighbor, the Chesed Project’s mission is to promote social, physical and emotional connection, and to support independence, interaction, and joy for all people over 60 years in Taos County. Facilitated by an amazing group of professional instructors who volunteer their time to teach classes such as Restorative Yoga, Tai Chi, Reiki, and Rosen Method of Exercise, all contribute to increased mobility and energy. Tai Chi is renowned for restoring balance and reducing stress, providing tangible health and wellness benefits. We believe in successful aging and welcome all seniors to participate.
The Chesed Project’s goal is to improve quality of life by providing activities, which encourage our constituents to reach their full human and spiritual potential. We provide programs of song and dance, highlighting Taos’s rich musical traditions. There are also opportunities to participate in classes such as how to write your memoirs or caring for the memory-impaired. Writing groups and Scrabble® players meet regularly. Our programs are flexible and responsive to community needs, and we invite you to join in our activities or to volunteer.
The Chesed Project is a unique non-denominational community collaboration. (Chesed, pronounced “heh-said,” means “loving kindness.”) We believe in building bridges between generations. Growing every year, our outreach takes us from Chamisal to Amalia, from Taos Pueblo to B’nai Shalom and Ancianos, from UNM-Taos, S.O.M.O.S., Taos Living Center, and Plaza de Retiro. Together, enriching our lives and our community.
