Age Well: The Power of Nature — Boosting Health & Happiness

Most of us know that spending time in nature feels good, but research shows the benefits run deeper than you might expect. In celebration of Earth Day, join Dr. Catherine Sanderson, author and expert in positive psychology, to explore how green and blue spaces, including forests and gardens, oceans, rivers and lakes, can reduce stress, ease anxiety, spark creativity and even support physical healing. As part of our Age Well series, this lecture reveals why even a houseplant or a glimpse of the outdoors matters. You'll walk away with simple, practical ways to invite more nature into your everyday life.

This lecture is part of our “Age Well” series, designed to provide valuable insights, expert guidance, and practical tools for navigating the aging journey with confidence. These programs explore key topics related to aging, from health and wellness to planning for the future, offering meaningful perspectives and resources for older adults and caregivers alike. Your online lecture will take place live over the course of 1-2 hours. All times are listed in the EASTERN time zone. If you live in a different time zone, please adjust your schedule accordingly. This live online experience uses Zoom Webinar, an easy-to-use web video service that includes closed captioning. All you need is an Internet connection and your computer. You will receive a confirmation email when you enroll, and a reminder email one week and one day before, as well as the morning of the event with a link and instructions on how to tune in. You will not be pictured on screen during the lecture, but you will have the opportunity to ask the instructor live questions using the Q&A box. Unless otherwise noted, all those who enroll in this program receive access to the live event as well as a recording of the lecture that you can watch any time within the two weeks following the live event.
