Title: Fostering Wellness with Intergenerational Community Building at the Old Stone House Museum
Brief Synopsis: Multi-generational connections are fostered at the Old Stone House Museum with presentations surrounding historic culture to the children by museum volunteers who weave together skill and stories while a common purpose tends to emerge. Programs begin with elders sharing skills of long ago that are very different from the children's modern day experiences. As we use our hands to cook, make crafts, build, play or tend to an animal or garden, a mutually supportive environment of commonality emerges. Confidence, kindness, sharing, joy and laughter emerge as learning and discovery take the center stage of our shared time together. At a time when belonging has become a central conversation of our times, quietly in Brownington Vt people of all ages come together to share, build skill, practice historic heritage arts, tell stories, work, potluck and find a connection they often silently ache for.
Bio: Dana Karuza is the Associate Director of On-Site Education at the Old Stone House Museum and Historic Village. Dana has held numerous positions with nonprofits and alternative schools across the country. She and her husband Bill have run an educational farm and homestead from their home in Illinois for over a decade before moving to Vermont. She has a degree in Resource Conservation and Environmental Education from the University of Montana and has a strong love and understanding of the natural world. A former High School Art and Science teacher, she discovered early in her career a passion for teaching and bringing community together. Dana is a long time UU. She has directed the Religious Education programs at the St. Johnsbury UU for many years while her two sons were growing up.
