This materials in this booklet presents surprising and hopeful information about aging. I developed the material for a series of two workshops on Growing Well into Older Age: Vital Involvement, Joy, and Meaning that I did in February 2015.

Contrary to popular beliefs, older people are vitally involved in their own lives. This workshop shows that joy and meaning in older age happens through vital involvement with family and friends, giving to others, engagement with meaningful activities and active spiritual lives.

Older people and their adult children and grandchildren will find this material from the workshops full of suggestions for vital involvement well into the advanced years.
