Class to cover balanced life

Hospice of Hilo is offering a free class titled, “Balancing Your Four Strengths,” from 4-5:30 p.m. Aug. 24 at its community building, 1011 Waianuenue Ave..

Hospice of Hilo spiritual counselor Phillip Jones, MA, LMHC, will lead the class. His content will be based on an Indian proverb that states, “Everyone is a house with four rooms — physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Most tend to live in one room much of the time; but unless one goes into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, one is not a complete person.”

For more information, call Hospice of Hilo at 969-1733.
