CCA April Lunch & Learn | Radiant Rebellion (Online)

Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy & Raise a Little Hell

What if aging is something to aspire to, not dread? What if together we could forge a radiant rebellion against the idea of aging as a season of decline? Join Karen Walrond, author of Radiant Rebellion, in an intriguing investigation into how we can reclaim aging, cultivate joy, and resist ageism. During her own year of transition -- a milestone birthday, a wedding anniversary, the emptying of the nest, Walrond's Radiant Rebellion is a deep dive into dimensions of getting older, including health, beauty, spirituality, connection, adventure, and meaning and purpose.  In this session, we'll learn how Walrond satisfies her curiosity -- and ours -- about why the dominant culture treats aging as a time of dwindling capacity.  With wisdom from doctors, researchers and revolutionaries, Walrond will teach how to radiantly rebel against the fads and assumptions that hold us back, redefine the adventure of getting older, and create a shining future of expanded potential.

Karen Walrond is the author of the award-winning Radiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy & Raise a Little Hell, an investigation in how we can resist ageism and live a gratifying, meaningful life along the way.  She is also the author of The Lightmaker's Manifesto: How to Work for Change Without Losing Your Joy, which beckons readers towards lives of integrity, advocacy, conviction and joy.  A leadership coach, activist and attorney, Walrond's writing and coaching have helped thousands of people around the world find meaning and purpose in their lives. By exploring the ways in which our assumptions might be made on false premises, Walrond shows us how we can tap into the lessons of past successes to create futures full of light.
