What's so Funny about Aging & Being Mortal

Health and wellness, aging, humor, mortality, challenging perspectives

Did you know that humor, gratitude, and positive perceptions are all health-promoting? During this workshop to be held Nov. 10th at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod you will experience all of this and more, leaving with improved wellness and a sense of empowerment.

Enjoyment and laughing our way through our senior years makes the process easier, improves our health, and prepares us for the inevitability of our mortality. We’ll look at some aging myths and also explore the negative images of aging – “ageism” - contrasted with the value and blessings (and humor!) of aging. We will present new models of positive spiritual eldering as emerging evidence continues to show positive health outcomes linked to the spiritual practices of elders regardless of religious or non-religious background.

Facilitated by two local RNs, this presentation offers a holistic view of aging and mortality that will challenge your current perspectives.
