How do you feel about ageing? is it something you dread or something you embrace? Is it a slow decline or a new chapter filled with insight and opportunity? Or is it something in between? In a society that often idolises youth, it’s easy to feel anxious about growing older. But what if ageing isn’t the problem? What if our mindset is? This open conversation is a chance to reflect on how we personally experience ageing, the messages we’ve absorbed from those around us, and the unexpected gifts that come with getting older._x000D_

Hosted by El, a brilliant and compassionate social worker, this discussion will be a safe, respectful space for all perspectives. We’ll explore questions like: What do you admire, or fear, when you see others growing older? How do we carry those images into our own futures? Whether you’re just starting to think about the ageing process or already living it day by day, come join a smart, inclusive, and judgment-free conversation that’s all about understanding where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how we want to travel that road._x000D_

你对衰老有什么感受?它是你害怕的事,还是你迎接的挑战?是一个缓慢的衰退,还是充满洞察和机遇的新篇章?还是介于二者之间?在一个常常崇尚青春的社会里,年老让人焦虑似乎很正常。但如果问题不在于衰老本身,而在于我们的心态呢?这场开放的讨论是一次反思我们如何亲身体验衰老、我们从周围人身上吸收了什么信息,以及变老所带来的意外馈赠的机会。_x000D_
