Life Chat - Social Wellness

Social wellness is the ability to relate to and connect with other people in our world. This month’s wellness topic introduces us to Nathan Beacom and the Lyceum Movement. Drawing on a history over 150 years old, The Lyceum Movement hosts social, festive events that explore the big ideas of art, philosophy, history and more. In an age where so much of our life is consumed by the anxiousness of online life, Nathan is creating spaces where neighbors can slow down, meet face to face, and have better conversations. Join Nathan along with life insurance advocates Laura Timmins and Anna Coleman from EMC National Life as they delve into the world of social wellness.

This episode is part of our Healthy Life campaign where we are striving to improve lives through balance and wellness.
