Dr Marilyn Schlitz – Awakening to Our Third Act: The Grateful Ageing Programme
How can we transform worldviews on ageing from fear and anxiety to hope and possibility?
The global population is growing older and living longer than ever before. With that comes unnecessary fear and anxiety as ageing can often be seen as a negative or a period of decline.
Join Marilyn as she seeks to disrupt the status quo that surrounds our worldviews on ageing by advancing the realisation of each person’s unique potentials and self-fulfilment through a whole person model that supports self-actualisation, self-transcendence and collective transformation throughout the lifespan.
This talk will introduce the programme that offers evidence-based tools and practices to empower you as you consider your own ageing experience and participate in a shared learning community.
