Aging Gracefully
celebrating dynamic growth + change for women moving into their third act
Pillars
My vision to aging and thriving
Stillness
Active Rest
Meditation, Embodied Movement, Restorative Yoga, Mindful Breathing, or curling up to Do Nothing. Let go of worry.
Approach life and death from calm.
Pleasure
Five Senses
Explore our glorious earth from a place of wonder. Meander through landscapes and activate your senses. Taste it, Feel it, Smell it, See it, or Hear it as if for the first time.
Creative Spirit
Express Yourself
Create rituals and ceremonies that acknowledge life changes. Embrace minimalism and include biophilia in your home environment. Wear arty clothes. Try plant medicine. Dance anywhere, often.
Unselfing
Step Aside
Soften your hold on You. Practice Gratitude or Metta. Circle up with women to hold space. Engage in Selfless Service. Love more deeply. Resist complaining and instigate the change you want. Know the land you inhabit and take responsibility.
Go Outside
Explore
Find parks and green spaces and inhabit them. Garden, make land art, learn about plants on your street. Climb up or sit with trees.
Movement
Body + Mind
Exercise is essential, but so is Natural Movement for mobility, stability, and agility. Explore Spiritual and Healing Modalities. Listen to Podcasts and read books to keep your mind activated.

Ageism
How do we handle the commercialization of the aging female body? How do we accept our changing bodies and minds?

Aging Gracefully was born out of my desire to challenge the narrative around aging that I felt didn't represent me. We need to take up space, do our part to save this planet, and be seen and heard. Let's move our bodies, keep our minds sane, have hard conversations, and rise up together.
