Interested in the "Learning from Women Over 85" workshop presented by author Amy Gorman? This workshop is beneficial for groups of all kinds; the workshop focuses on creativity and purpose as we age.
The
inspiring stories of these women are now available in print
and on DVD. With the release of Amy Gorman's book, Aging
Artfully, we are encouraged to make the DVD Still Kicking
and the book available online for purchase.
Visit the Aging Artfully
web site to read more about Gorman's book here. To purchase
DVD and/or book, use the purchase button.
The
film Still kicking honors the gift of age, and poignantly
illustrates that growing old can be a time of creative expression
and satisfaction. Challenging the perceptions and attitudes
towards being old, still kicking is certain to trigger
dialogue and ignite the imagination of us all.
"In
a world where we too frequently encounter negative images
of aging, come book and film abundant with elders who, through
love of and work with their particular craft, embody Browning's
oft-quoted grow old with me the best is yet to be. In film,
photography and oral history, Amy Gorman and Greg Young have
captured the creative spirit of these remarkable Bay Area
women."
