Unlocking the Inner life of Aging: Activating Wisdom and Experiencing Joy
What can we awaken within ourselves as we age if we release the binds of societal expectations? In this cutting edge talk, we open our arms to the extraordinary gift of our later years, where inner peace, wonder, and wisdom take root and blossom.
With the guiding light of Helen Keller’s wisdom, we remember: “Dreams are renewable. No matter what age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.” Together, we shall walk toward a life of authenticity, joy, and profound fulfillment.

Making Peace and Thriving With Impermanence:
In this poignant exploration of life’s impermanence, we delve into the profound question: Can we not only accept but cherish the beauty of life precisely because of its fleeting nature?
If we don’t make peace with impermanence we may find ourselves paralyzed between a wistful or negative past or an anxious future, missing out on the beauty of life by taking people, and situations for granted, by overlooking what is here; brief, beautiful moments and deeply sad, grief filled moments.
Join me in this transformative journey toward making peace with impermanence and discovering new possibilities for living fully in the present moment.
Using research, stories, examples and humor. Together, we will:

The Aging Paradox: Unveiling the Dynamic Interplay Between Decline and Expansion
What fuels my fire in this talk is the dynamic interplay between decline and expansion inherent in aging. These elements not only coexist but also create opportunities for meaning, wisdom, and joy throughout the journey of aging.
My research and personal reflections reveal that aging’s true “goodies” often emerge through the very process of decline. By embracing this natural evolution with awareness, we can shift from fear to awe, reshaping our mindset and behaviors around aging. For in life’s embrace, we find not only belonging and peace but also a deeper understanding of our own being and the interconnectedness of all life.
Using research, stories, examples and humor. In this talk, we will:
- Learn what are declines and how they fuel expansion.
- Realize Aging's "Goodies".
- Embrace the Natural Rhythm of Life.
- Rediscover Awe, Wonder, and Curiosity.
- Let Go and Soften Into Ourselves.
- Expand Awareness to the Shortness of Time.
- Find beauty in the journey of self-discovery and exploration.
- Embrace personal transformation akin to a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
