Sound baths are a meditative experience that uses soothing sounds and vibrations from instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. As participants lie down and listen, the resonant tones help slow brainwaves, encouraging a deep state of calm and mindfulness. These frequencies can shift the nervous system from a stressed, fight-or-flight state to one of rest and restoration. Many find that regular sound baths ease physical tension, quiet racing thoughts, and enhance emotional well-being. While not a replacement for therapy, sound baths can be a supportive, holistic tool for managing stress and anxiety naturally.

Men Deserve Flowers
Flowers aren’t just for women—men appreciate their beauty, sentiment, and the thoughtful gesture behind them. This Father’s Day, surprise the dad, husband, grandfather, or father figure in your life with a bouquet that reflects his personality. Bold blooms, earthy tones, or modern arrangements can brighten his day and express gratitude in a unique way. Whether he’s a nature lover, a quiet supporter, or your family’s rock, flowers say “thank you” in a fresh, memorable way. Giving flowers breaks old stereotypes and brings joy to any space. This year, celebrate Father’s Day with a gesture he won’t expect—but will love.
Starting the Conversation
We all expect certain changes as we age, but when does a small change become something worth paying attention to? The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba’s First Link® Client Support team connects with people every day who aren’t sure if it’s the right time for them to call and get support. The answer is always the same: it’s never too early to start the conversation.
“Anytime someone is concerned about the signs and symptoms of dementia, we can be their link to a community of support,” says Jessica Harper, First Link Senior Manager. “Our programs are geared to people living with any type of dementia, not just Alzheimer’s disease, though a formal diagnosis is not required.”

We reflect on shared moments—laughter, lessons, and life milestones—that continue to inspire us. Honoring our father means carrying his values forward and speaking his name with pride.

Stroke Awareness & Men’s Health Month
June is the perfect time to focus on prevention and early awareness. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Canada, and men are at a higher risk—especially over age 55. Know the signs: sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or loss of balance. Healthy lifestyle choices like eating well, staying active, and managing blood pressure can greatly reduce risk. Men’s Health Month also encourages regular checkups and open conversations about physical and mental health. Taking small steps today can lead to stronger tomorrows.
