The Ivey's Brain Health Workshop is an 8-week series of workshops featuring leading experts in multiple disciplines and perspectives to build brain-healthy routines to keep your brain sharp and age well.
For years, our workshops have become a special part of our programming, bringing together knowledgeable experts, practical strategies, and meaningful opportunities to learn about brain health.
We offer the workshops twice a year – Winter and Fall. For Fall 2026, we’re taking a pause to refresh the experience and consider new ways to make the experience even more engaging and useful. CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO
The heart of the workshop will remain the same: learning from trusted experts and exploring ways to support brain health through everyday choices, activities, and habits.
We look forward to welcoming you back for the Winter 2027 session.
