Free Classes on "Positive Living and Aging Well" at 50+ Centers

Vantage House sponsors workshops that refute society's outdated perceptions of older adults

Vantage House is sponsoring free workshops on “Positive Living and Aging Well” at Howard County 50+ Centers. The workshops feature Marketing Director and Personal Development Coach Andrew Morgan who argues that society’s perceptions of older adults remain stuck in the past.

In the two-hour workshop, Morgan and partners use real life lessons to provide an effective blueprint for a happier, healthier and more impactful life as people grow older. This stage of life, according to Morgan, is not simply a time of “leisure activities” but rather full engagement, authentic social connections, interesting people, vitality, meaning and purpose. During the workshops, Morgan will discuss timeless strategies for a more “purpose-driven life.”

Upcoming workshops include:
