3019 Radical Endurance: Growing Old in an Age of Longevity

one-time ZOOM | Registration opens 1/3/25 10:00 AM

Why are so many of us afraid of growing old? And why has old age gotten such a bad rap? In this online presentation and conversation, we will enjoy some inspiring true stories about interesting old people; we will quiet our fears of losing our minds, our mobility, or our independence; we will learn to resist ageism in our everyday lives, and we will assert that we have meaningful futures. Ask questions, share your stories, and get some nourishing food for thought.
