Lauren will present a variation of her “Happier, Healthier Aging Through Writing” program.
Have you ever taken a moment to consider how you and your writing can evolve as you age? In this unique, research-informed presentation for experienced writers, we’ll explore how writing can be a powerful companion in the aging process: increasing resilience, reducing stress, improving cognitive function, and connecting you to community and purpose.
🧠 Learn the science behind the importance of creativity and aging—and how writing strengthens the brain
🔥 Rekindle creative fire by reframing your current practice
🔍 Consider your life, legacy, and purpose
📚 Reconnect with the why behind your writing
NOTE: We will take 10-15 minutes from our schedule for our 2025 Anthology authors to sign the new copies for our members. Please bring your copies or purchase an anthology that day.
