Material covered during part I of this program...

An awakening... a public dialog among elders and caregivers about the genuine WEL SCIENCE-EDUCATION and BETTER PRACTICES about healthier life-styles and longevity interventions.

Beyond masking age changes... what can you do today to nurture your health, normal physiological processes, quality of life vs. quantity of life?

Is aging a result of the neglect of evolutionary and biological integrity? If so, what can you do to co-create and influence; the natural ability of the body for self-repair, healthier cell functioning, better breathing, and reduction of oxydative stress and inflamation.

How the essences of better longevity can be nurtured by; the total integration of whole-person-living, the mind-body connection, the environment as our extended body, and the alignment of the many ways that life and love is manifested, within ourselves, among people, animals and nature.

Part I: Here are some comments from the participants:

"I love the ways I have learned that we can influence aging and how"
