A Conversational Reading on Creative Aging – Gainesville
Monday, January 13 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Presented by Pozez JCC Adult Outreach Program
Featuring Wendy L. Miller, clinician and author of “Sky Above Clouds: Finding our way through creativity, aging, and illness”
Is age simply a number? Can we age wisely? Wendy Miller and her late husband Gene Cohen (one of the founding fathers of geriatric psychiatry) uncovered new clues about how the aging mind can build resilience and continue to grow, even during times of grave illness, upending the traditional paradigm of aging as a time of decline. Join us for her enlightening presentation, readings, and a conversation together on how to navigate aging and illness with the right tool kit. Light Refreshments will be served; kashrut observed.
