BS25-311 Aging Brings Opportunities
Bartlesville | Registration opens 1/8/2025 12:00 AM CST
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "Age is opportunity no less than youth itself." This four-week interactive course will highlight unique opportunities that come with aging. We will discuss what it means to feel a sense of belonging as we age and how communities (cities, towns and organizations) help or hinder that. We will also engage in practices that promote healthy perspectives on aging. We will laugh and tell stories and, hopefully, leave with smiles on our faces and hope in our hearts.
