I received this email from the founder of Sounds True, Tami Simon. I read it, I clicked on the links, I read those too and I signed up for this free webinar.

I got so excited about the opportunity to learn from the stellar list of speakers that I immediately wanted to share it with you too!

Take a look below and see if it calls to you in any way. it's FREE!

*I have participated in a lot of Sounds True webinars & courses and they all have been fantastic. I expect the same from this one.

From Tami Simon...

"You’re too old for that. You missed your opportunity."

I recently caught myself saying that to myself.

And then I repeated it aloud to a new friend. I was referring to a creative opportunity, something that I would really like to accomplish.

My new friend said, "It actually hurt when I heard you say you thought you were too old. That is just an idea that you have; there’s no truth to it."

Her comments got my attention, and I could feel underneath her care about me and also her intelligent questioning of our culture’s view of aging as a time when we admit an early defeat, and even our supposed irrelevance. And how a part of me had internalized this view.

Her response was a wake-up call, and I believe the type of wake-up call many of us need!

Which is why I am so thrilled to announce that Sounds True is partnering with journalist and creative powerhouse Maria Shriver to produce a new free series that enables us to examine our beliefs and cultural assumptions about aging... and most importantly, how we can discover aging as a time to deepen our sense of purpose, joy, and meaning.

Radically Reframing Aging: Today’s Groundbreakers on Age, Health, Purpose, and Joy airs February 28 through March 4. Each session is hosted by Maria Shriver and features people Maria calls "groundbreakers"—individuals who clear the way for us to collectively and positively move forward.

Presenters include icons William Shatner, Jamie Lee Curtis, Deepak Chopra, Anne Lamott, Goldie Hawn, Vanessa Williams, Rob Lowe, and others, along with leading medical doctors, researchers, and psychologists, all contributing their insights and wisdom to help us reimagine aging as an opportunity for personal development and evolution.

You’ll learn about topics such as:

• "Blue zone" cultures where people live the longest, healthiest lives
• How to keep your mind your friend
• Anxiety and aging, and how we can harness this emotion into a superpower as we age
• Proactive approaches to nutrition, exercise, and sleep that enable us to live with a long "healthspan"
• How to reinvent ourselves at any age
• The experience of greater selfhood, deep fulfillment, and freedom that can come with aging

How we talk to ourselves and others about aging matters.

If we internalize the view that aging is mostly a time of deterioration, decline, and irrelevancy, we will very likely discover that is what unfolds for us.

But if we start envisioning aging as a time when we can create more, discover more, love more, and have the richness of our internal world grow and deepen, we will likely have those types of experiences.

Maria Shriver has a gift for sensing in the current zeitgeist the conversations we need to be having to move us forward in a positive way. She has rightly identified conscious aging as such an important conversation. I hope you will join us for Radically Reframing Aging: Today’s Groundbreakers on Age, Health, Purpose, and Joy. This free series begins on February 28, and you can register today.
