"gOLD" and Eldercation Workshops
We have designed an innovative series of informative seminars and experiential workshops which focus on the many rich issues surrounding the concept of "aging." Conceived and facilitated by Eldercation founder and "gOLD" author, Harry J. Getzov, these workshops allow participants from all age groups and backgrounds to (1) share and learn new ideas in an open and safe environment; and (2) explore each individual's mind-set and feelings about what it means - and how it feels - to grow older in today's fast-moving culture.
