Whole Brain Health Contact: Lissena/Lynne Berrett showcases The Nourish to Flourish Road Trip with Sue and Lou We'll take an immersive road trip with guides Sue and Lou, Whole Brain Health's wise old owls, to 6 locations on Inspiration Island and Bay. This is the first of many road trips we're creating to offer lifelong learners evidence-based ways they can increase their wellbeing in and out of Second Life. Our guides encourage trippers to try out the many fun things to explore and do at each stop, then to reflect on their experience. The name of this trip, "Nourish to Flourish," perfectly expresses its purpose: you will nourish your body, mind and spirit by learning all the things you can do to flourish in your daily life. When you choose the activities that fit your personality and lifestyle, and you do them consistently, they'll become habits. Our owls use story and humor and science. We think you'll enjoy spending time with them.
