The Creative Life

Participants commit to develop creative skills through life transitions or as professional or avocational artists. They share and receive feedback on their life strategies, poetry, visual art, autobiography, stand-up comedy, and music. Examining their personal and professional lives fosters stronger and deeper community connections.

Men’s Group

Men gather to explore their changing roles across the life cycle, important commitments and activities, and how to maintain healthy and meaningful lives.

American Ways Forward!

Hosted at Lifelong, participants discuss their frustrations with political, family, and friend challenges of these times. In addition to lamenting, we explore policy and personal changes that can propel us to live more productive, meaningful lives. The perspective is honest, contextualized conversations, rooted in our daily experiences.
