Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the official blog of the Intentional Aging Collective. Intentional Aging is a concept that has at its core the notion that there are always opportunities for deep development and new ways of thinking and being throughout the life-course.

This space, a virtual Collective, is designed to offer a meeting place where we can celebrate life, the aging journey and all the possibilities that exist in grown-up-hood, especially in later life.

We intend to inquire about and explore collaboratively different meanings of what it means to travel through the life-course and become an elder. And we hope as comrades to inspire each other to see the aging journey in new, audacious, and powerful ways. Will you join us?

Being Young At Heart

"I want to die young at an advanced age." Journalist Max Lerner

I notice young children a lot! How they see the world. How they live in almost constant wonder. I'm also curious when they stop? What is it that we do to them that forces them to lose that wonder?

Ever notice when a child comes in to a room where there is a parent and grandparent together. The child immediately zeroes in on the grandparent and the parent becomes almost superfluous. In fact the grandparent usually becomes more child-like. Maybe that is the attraction!

Try to find that sense of a child's wonder in yourself in each day!
