May Aging Well Event -- CANCELLED

Presented by Dr. Wendy Miller.  

Dr. Miller is an artist, writer, psychologist, and art therapist, who has lived in historic Kensington since 1997. Her Ph.D. is in Clinical Psychology.

This presentation is based on the book, Sky Above Clouds: Finding our way through creativity, aging, and illness, written by Wendy Miller and her late husband Gene Cohen. Miller will share findings from their book on creativity as a catalyst for growth, hope, love and healing at every stage of our lives.

The audience will learn the kinds and patterns of creativity in aging, as well as what neuroscience has discovered about aging, creative potential and psychological growth.

This talk looks at creativity not only in the arts, but also in pragmatic and social arenas. Miller will share new metaphors for aging as well as Cohen’s social portfolio, both of which contribute to a view of aging that adds as it takes away.

Refreshments will be served.
