Baima Gabu Rinpoche, a physical therapist in Taos, New Mexico, and a facilitator at XFVU, wanted her clients and the seniors she knew at the Taos Living Center to be able to play Wiser Ball. She designed and made “jerseys” that could easily fit over wheelchairs for their uniforms and made beanbags to use instead of the regular balls. The games were a great success, so much so that the activities director at the center indicated she was going to schedule Wiser Ball as a weekly activity.
