He Yi Dao Wellness Residency at Rego Park: Queens Community House Older Adult Center

In partnership with Dance Entropy and the Queens House Rego Park Older Adult Community Center, The Healing Circle Foundation piloted the He Yi Dao Wellness Program—a six-week initiative blending movement, mindfulness, dance, rhythm, and community connection. Designed to enhance balance, mobility, and emotional well-being, the program brought joy, resilience, and renewed health to seniors, many of whom requested its continuation.
