LIFE-STAGE: Online Forum - Sun. 26 July

What’s the Point in Ageing?

I sometimes wonder whether “the benefits of ageing” is a comforting story we tell ourselves. While ageing can certainly bring some wisdom, it can also bring loss, ill health, and regrets. Not everyone feels they become a better version of themselves simply because they’ve grown older.

There’s something uniquely precious about the openness, optimism, energy and sense of possibility that comes with being young, and that can fade with time.

How do we respond to the stage of life we’re in? Can we grieve what has been lost, appreciate what remains, and stay open to discovering new ways of living meaningfully, whatever our age?

What really helps as we navigate this new stage in life?

LIFE-STAGE ONLINE FORUMS

We've been running the Forums on the last Sunday of every month for four years. The events are loosely structured around a different topic or question each month. The structure will develop over time to reflect the needs and wishes of participants. The Forum is for people in the second half of life and will focus on understanding our common experiences of ageing, as opposed to any specific belief systems or ideologies. We are a friendly and inclusive community -- all are welcome.

Confidentiality: This is a safe space to share. Nothing will be recorded or shared outside of this meeting.
