At Winter Growth, we see the impact of meaningful engagement every day. Through our partnership with The Iris Music Project, a simple melody can spark a memory, a rhythm can invite movement, and a shared song can open the door to joy, creativity, and connection for individuals living with dementia.

The Ensemble-in-Residence Program is more than music - it’s a lifeline. With each interactive session, participants are invited to co-create through movement, lyric writing, and rhythm, offering opportunities for self-expression, communication, and personal connection that are often difficult to find in traditional care settings. Caregivers frequently share that their loved ones return home more relaxed, communicative, and uplifted.

This transformative program is not covered by traditional funding - but thanks to community support, it has become a vital part of daily life at Winter Growth. Your donation today will help us sustain and expand this work, ensuring that participants feel seen, heard, and valued through every note.

Please consider making a contribution to support this meaningful initiative. Every gift helps bring another day of inspiration, healing, and purpose to those we serve.

Thank you for believing in what’s possible - and for being a valued part of the Winter Growth family.
