On the Surprising Pleasures of Living in an Aging Body

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Do you fear that growing old means being trapped in a body filled with aches, pains, and losses? Many of us do-especially women. Though our youth-obsessed society is partly to blame, psychologist Susan Sands explains there is a deeper and unrecognized factor-we have never really gotten to know our bodies. In Dr. Sands' latest book, The Inside Story, she offers a much-needed guide for helping us understand, befriend, and support our bodies as we grow older.

Without downplaying the challenges we face as we age, Dr. Sands offers a wealth of case studies, interviews, and scientific findings to rewrite the common cultural beliefs that put us at odds with our own bodies. Through her work and writing, she shares a wealth of powerful embodiment tools-including traditional practices like meditation and yoga, as well as breathing methods, neural feedback techniques, guidance on diet and exercise, and more.

Most of us have never been taught how to truly connect with our bodies and growing older can provide us with a golden opportunity to heal this inner divide. Join Dr. Sands in a conversation with CIIS Chair of Integrative Health Studies Meg Jordan and learn how the powerful tools of embodiment can help you experience aging as a vital, optimistic, and transformative journey.

Free, suggested donation of $10.
