CCA January Lunch & Learn | Elderhood in Fairy Tales: Returning to the Magic of Childhood (Online)

Join us for this hour of storytelling! Psychiatrist and author Allan Chinen will lead us through the twists and turns of two fairy tales, each featuring elders as their main characters. How does elderhood affect the outcomes of these stories? What do these tales teach us about the possibilities inherent in aging that can return us to the senses of awe, wonder, and enchantment that were readily available to us in childhood? Bring your own wisdom into the conversation, and partake in the age-old experience of gathering together and being transported by the power of story.
