Founded by Dr. William Thomas of Shelburne, New York, the Eden Alternative emphasized a more humane, relationship-centred approach to the care of the elderly. Photographer Thelma Pepper became closely involved with the centre while visiting her husband Jim, who was a resident, and during this time began photographing residents and staff. Her images, marked by warmth, dignity, and moments of everyday joy, formed the basis of a travelling exhibition organized by Honor Kever. The book reflects both the photographic project and the philosophy of care that inspired it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Publisher Not Identified","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45110098919563,"sku":"1207","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8566\/7467\/files\/IMG_4155_f49e643b-ef16-4471-aa23-9b52bb7620ce.jpg?v=1771866906","url":"https:\/\/heartofgoldbooks.com\/products\/untie-the-spirit-the-eden-alternative-and-sherbrooke-community-centre-thelma-pepper","provider":"Heart of Gold Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
