AGE Advanced Conversations: The Art of Living and Dying Well

This gathering is for people who identify as women and nonbinary people in the second half of life. We will talk about life and death as natural and empowering. We will dig into our true selves and possibly gain more clarity about what is important and precious.

Life and death are one. How we view death impacts how we live life. Death is not often spoken about because we fear it. When we fear death, we do not live fully. Confronting that which we fear, embracing the feelings fully, can be empowering. Join us for rich conversation and discovery.
