Ongoing Groups

Our main goal is to build community among adults in our area. We do this in many ways including through a wide selection of social activities. One excellent way we get to know one another is through ongoing group activities that include a range of exercise options (yoga, tai chi, arthritis movement, walking, ping pong). We also have art, crafts, reading and writing groups that include poetry, memoir, history, nonfiction, photography, watercolors, art discussion, theater and more. BAiP’s group leaders program for many interests and abilities.  For example we have walking groups at four different paces.  Our typical list of ongoing groups is below.  

Most of our groups fill up as soon as they are launched, which is why we are always looking for new volunteers to head up new groups. From time to time, there are openings in the groups below.  To express your interest in an ongoing activity group or to volunteer to lead one, please email us: activities@bloominplace.org.  We welcome new ideas.  Surprise us!


NOTE: During the Covid-19 pandemic, all in-person activities have been suspended. Many of the groups below meet online; the rest are temporarily halted until safe to resume.
