SUMMARY:Leaving a Legacy of Stories: Passing Wisdom Across Generations
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Professor Duke will review the research that demonstrates that not only is knowledge of one’s family history interesting and enlightening\, but it is also among the most important things that older generations can pass on. This is because we now know that knowledge of family history is associated with increased levels of resilience\, higher levels of self-esteem\, better psychological adjustment\, and the development of a moral compass that helps people in their journey throughout life.

SUMMARY:Deepening the Sage Within (In person in Boulder\, CO)
DESCRIPTION:In his 1995 book From Age-ing to Sage-ing\, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi\, the most influential Jewish change-maker of his generation\, created a new way of looking at aging in the second half of life called “Sage-ing.” Instead of seeing this stage of life as a time of loss and diminishment\, Sage-ing affirms the importance of aging as a time for deep reflection\, continued learning\, and spiritual growth.
