WHAT THIS PROGRAM OFFERS

This is a fully scripted, professionally researched facilitated bird program built around one of the most extraordinary creatures in the natural world: the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. We explore its science, its communication, and its remarkable inner life — and what it quietly reveals about our own. Participants move from curiosity to wonder to personal reflection, leaving with a genuine sense of connection — to the natural world and to each other.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

Ideally suited for:

Assisted Living & Independent Living Memory Care

Senior Centers

Nature Centers

Adult Community Groups

Note: Memory care and mixed-ability adaptations are woven directly into the script — not added as an afterthought — so every participant can engage in a way that feels natural and dignified.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?

Most enrichment programming asks staff to do the heavy creative lifting and spend time with preparation. The Hummingbird Event does not. The facilitation script is written in warm, literary, and intellectually substantive language with every aspect of the event planned and written for you. Every discussion prompt is designed to welcome the quiet observer and the active participant equally. All you need to do is read and lead a meaningful program.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Facilitator's Guide: Complete 55–60 minute script, pacing notes, and in-script facilitation guidance.
• Inclusive Design: Memory care and mixed-ability adaptations integrated throughout.
• Participant Field Guide: A beautiful nature companion to distribute at the start of the event.
• Interactive Trivia: 12-question quiz, including a participant version and a full answer key.
• Reflection Guide: Five take-home prompts for personal writing or small-group sharing.
• Enhancement Menu: A full list of optional activities to extend the experience before, during, or after the event.
