Residential Flower Power
WHAT IT IS: SOAR provides social gatherings for community residents along with flower arranging workshops for attendees to enjoy creative and cathartic time with an array of colorful flowers while engaging socially.
BENEFITS: Residents (many of whom are lifelong gardeners and passionate about flowers) are viscerally reminded of the cathartic nature of flowers and social visits increase engagement to help overcome loneliness and uplift spirits. When participating in Flower Power workshops, residents are filled with joy and purpose knowing some of the arrangements will be delivered to other groups in their town/city at-risk of loneliness and social isolation.

RECIPIENTS: Residents decide on flower arrangement recipient groups and the SOAR team facilitates the gifting of arrangements by creating relationships with recipients organizations and delivering arrangements on behalf of residents. SOAR welcomes resident participation in the delivery process with residential leadership/staff participation to ensure proper safety protocol.

The electric aspect of SOAR is when we give our younger generation the reins on Flower Power and watch their tremendous capacity to naturally and empathically create change as those who know precisely how it feels to be both lonely and isolated. We are the glue that binds, the cog in the wheel for their brilliant creations and on-hand to help them naturally become next generation leaders....
