Living U—Lifelong Learning

You may pick up a printed course brochure in the lobbies of The Willows of Living Branches, Souderton Mennonite Homes, or Dock Woods.

What is Living U?

Recognizing the many benefits of lifelong learning, Living Branches established Living U to provide older adults with opportunities to broaden their knowledge and learn new things. The best part is there are no grades! Living U is for your pure learning enjoyment. Residents and adults who live in the local area are welcome to participate.

Living U provides occasions for teachers and students to learn from each other’s stories, knowledge, and perspectives. Course content and discussion are offered for discovery, enrichment, and educational purposes and do not necessarily represent Living U or Living Branches.

Cost and Payment

Living Branches residents may pay with a credit card or their Living Branches account. All other students may pay by credit card. Registration costs are non-refundable. Costs are:

• 1-5 courses – $30.00
• 6-10 courses – $50.00
• 11 or more courses – $75.00

Certain classes and field trips have extra costs. Please note these in the course descriptions.

Unless the course has an extra fee, Personal Care and Health Care residents at Living Branches may participate in Living U courses free of charge. Please contact your life enrichment coordinator or Maribeth Benner to register.

Start Times and Transportation

All classes are held in person. Doors open 30 minutes before each class.

When registering for classes, Living Branches residents may sign up for shuttle service across each of our communities. If you opt for the shuttle, a team member from Dock Woods will call you the day before class to confirm your pick-up time and location.
