The Dementia Society presents Turquoise, a music program that engages participants using rhythm, song, gesture, dance, and humour in the spirit of friendship and fun.  Get ready to sing-a-long with fellow participants and the energetic group leader, Sid Ameen.  You can expect to engage with the group, sharing stories, and requesting songs.

The name “Turquoise” is inspired by its significance to both the heart and throat chakras—green for the heart and blue for the throat.  Combining the colours makes turquoise, an appropriate colour for a group that emphasizes “singing from the heart.” Turquoise is a stone historically associated with protection, healing, and good fortune.  It is believed to promote positive energy, assist with communication, enhance creativity, and bring balance—all fitting qualities considering the group’s objectives.
