Residents enjoy a vibrant social life that includes a wide range of physical activities, mentally stimulating group discussions and outings, and sight-seeing excursions that nurture their health and wellness.
The Resident Association is an essential part of the core culture and fabric of The Redwoods community. Residents meet to discuss and debate various issues and opportunities confronting community life. The Resident Association interacts closely with our Board of Directors and Management.
Rock the Ages
This unique rock'n'roll chorus is comprised of singers, experienced and new, who want to learn NEW popular music - not the music they grew up with! Music and singing are great for the brain, memory, camaraderie, and general well-being. Weekly practices are open to all.
Meditation Group
Residents play an active role in initiating and leading group activities. The Meditation group meets in the Sanctuary every week to practice quiet sitting in a non-sectarian and inclusive environment open to residents of all spiritual paths, helping to create a sense of community and supportiveness.
Seniors for Peace
Mill Valley Seniors for Peace is a group of senior citizens committed to world peace, social justice, and genuine democracy. Founded in 2003 just before the Iraq War, the Mill Valley Seniors for Peace has held a Peace Demonstration every Friday at 4 p.m. (rain or shine) for over 20 years at the corner of Miller Ave. & Camino Alto - come honk!
