Program accomplishments

  • Kairos Alive! empowers elders, people with disabilities, and intergenerational community to feel good, have hope, stay connected, and cultivate physical, emotional, social and cognitive health. We do this through creativity engagement programs in dance, music, story, and arts and health research learning. Our programs, which tap the creativity in everyone, were featured in the PBS documentary, Arts and the Mind, and are set to be included in a 2025 PBS documentary on caregiving. Kairos: The open moment of creativity where eternity meets the present. Kairos Alive! is a 25-year-old Minnesota nonprofit, evidence-based, arts and social impact organization based in the power of creativity engagement that promotes individual and group leadership for healthy active lifestyles. Our mission is to transform lives through dance, music, theater and the latest arts and health research learning. Our vision is to celebrate elders and people with disabilities at the center of vital intergenerational creative communities, inspiring enjoyment and well- being for all. Our intercultural programs are recognized as a place and practice for emotional and social healing. Our goals are to serve as an innovator of programs, educator in Arts and Health approaches, and a catalyst for systems change. We have 7-years of experience developing live 2-way interactive participatory virtual programs. Kairos Alive! is a recognized pioneer in the Arts and Health/Creative Aging movements. Our programs have won national awards from the American Public Health Association and the American Society on Aging, and have contributed to research in the field. They are recognized as model programs by the National Endowment for the Arts. Rachelle Shultz, CEO, Winona (MN) Health: "Our Kairos events were amazing! Staff loved learning this approach, and it has opened up whole new ways of thinking. We have great stories about the impact on residents. [Four years later,] our staff in long term care still use what they learned with Kairos!" Five major Kairos Alive! programs are making significant contributions to the fields of Arts and Health, and Creative Aging: 1. Choreography of CareTM (CC) describes our larger vision of creating individual and community wellbeing through intergenerational interactive participatory dance, music, story, theater - and the latest body/mind health education. Through CC, we serve as links between performing arts and healthcare, to create compelling works of art, enjoyment and research-verifiable health benefits. 2. Moving WellTM is our certificate training program for nurses, physical, occupational and recreational therapists, social workers, certified nursing assistants, program managers, family caregivers, students, artists and citizen activists involved with elders. We give participants specific tools for engaging family members, colleagues and clients physically, mentally and emotionally through joyful performing arts involvement to affect personal and community health and wellbeing. Available via Zoom. 3. Our Intergenerational Dance HallTM is an all ages and abilities re- imagining of the community dance as the intersection of artistic, physical, and social involvement, with elders at the center of intergenerational dance and story performance art making, involving underserved audiences. 4. Our Community Arts and WellbeingTM Residency is our community wide project involving individual and organizational collaborators in the arts, healthcare, social services, education, business, government and Tribal Nations, designed to foster creativity, and optimal health and wellbeing, with elders at the center of this activity. Kairos ClubhouseTM Webcasts. We have 7-years of experience developing popular 2-way interactive participatory streamed arts and health engagement webcasts serving individuals and groups of people in the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida and California. Our current flagship webcast over Zoom, Kairos ClubhouseTM is a weekly engaging and inspiring research-based 2-way TV show that's a mix of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, Soul Train, Science Friday and Live From Lincoln Center for all ages and abilities.
