Age Now is a somatic exploration of living in our bodies across the entire arc of life. Moving beyond cultural narratives of "decline," this course invites us to dismantle ageist myths and reclaim age pride through embodied practice. Over four weeks, we will transition from intellectual understanding to lived wisdom, celebrating the body as a continuous, unfolding archive of experience.
