The Art of Aging: Exploring Gerotranscendence

In this presentation, brought to us in partnership with the UW School of Nursing, we’ll take a closer look at how the arts and accumulation of life experiences can positively impact our well-being and sense of perspective as we age. We will focus on experiences that tap into nostalgia, like revisiting cherished memories through art and music, and how these activities can have a profound effect on our overall sense of personhood. We will ultimately explore how these experiences can broaden our notions on aging.
