For over a decade the Dialogue on Aging public presentations have provided learning opportunities for seniors and others via a range of topics and a variety of speakers - researchers, clinicians and others who bring an array of expertise and experience.
This year we are pleased to announce our partnership with the Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging, UBC to expand the delivery of our free in person and virtual public presentations on healthy aging.

VanDusen Garden, 2 PM
Dr. Puterman will present information about the wide scope of stressful experiences that impact our health and wellbeing, the pathways through which these occur, and what we can do about it. Specifically, he will present findings from a set of studies showing how movement-based activities can promote health and wellbeing, even deep into our cells, in adults undergoing adversity across the life course.

Our personal narratives, mental models and mindsets help us make sense of the world, our relationships and the events of our lives. They can provide us with a sense of meaning and purpose but they may also limit and constrain us. In this presentation, you will learn how we create our stories and how we can adapt and transform them to achieve our positive potential in this life and experience greater peace and happiness.
