The Greater Hall Chamber’s VISION 2030 Board of Directors will host a Blue Zone Community Summit on Thursday, April 21 at 7:00 pm at the Brenau Downtown Center. The event titled "9 to THRIVE: Learn to Live Better & Longer" is open to the public and will feature Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Fellow, best-selling author and nationally recognized speaker. Buettner has delivered over 3,000 speeches to audiences worldwide and traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity and happiness. He identifies Blue Zones (bluezones.com) as places that have the greatest life expectancy.
Imagine if we followed the Blue Zone Common Denominators or 9 Power Approaches and learned to Move Naturally... Have A Purpose... Down Shift Stress... Followed the 80% Full Stomach Rule... Ate More Plants... Drank More Wine... Belonged to a Faith... Put Loved Ones First... and Joined the Right Tribe. We could take our personal and community longevity and success to a new level.
“What began as a National Geographic expedition to find the longest living cultures evolved into a recipe for living longer,” said Mimi Collins, The Longstreet Clinic, P.C., and chair of the Blue Zone Community Summit event. “We are thrilled to have Dr. Dan Buettner share the findings of his journey and the Blue Zone principles to help us, as a community, learn how we might live healthier, happier and longer.”
