Successful Aging Orientation Workshop Well Attended

The Community Room hosted eleven people at the Orientation Workshop last week, with some great discussions about the aging population, the realities of aging in the 21st century, and various options for future planning. The Orientation Workshop is a prerequisite for the full Successful Aging course. Presented by Elders Village, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational resources to older adults, the Successful Aging course helps people examine the many issues surrounding aging, face their futures with greater clarity and intention, and consider the benefits of aging in community. It is an adaptation of a course offered by the Danish government since the 1980’s as a way to raise consciousness about the coming age wave and encourage seniors to explore grassroots solutions.

The Successful Aging course is offered by Elders Village on an ongoing basis, and the first step is to attend the free Orientation Workshop (upcoming sessions: 10/24, 11/20, and 12/18). Whether you are looking into cooperative living or just taking the first step towards comprehensive retirement planning, this informative and participatory session has something for everyone!
