Owning Old: Becoming As We Age
Class | Available
Getting older is a part of living. We are aging every day, some of us more gracefully than others. In her 20+ years as a generational scholar, Judith Tavano, has studied generations from all angles and in a variety of settings. She has learned that though each generation is unique in its experiences, expectations, and behaviors, we all have one thing in common. We are all aging. Let’s come together and look at what’s good about aging, what’s not so good, what we can change, and what we can’t. Let’s look backwards and forwards and together, laugh, sigh, and keep on keepin’ on.
