Since writing Fifty & Fabulous! The Best Years of a Woman’s Life I have been on a one woman mission to change people’s attitude towards their next birthday.
The book has accomplished that in many ways and in many places and I am gratified by that. But I know that some women are like me and they want more than just the ability to read about positive aging- they want to experience positive aging.
So I created the Fifty+ Fabulation Event. In everyday language this is a workshop but I hesitate to use this term because it sounds like something you have done many times before and I believe that a Fifty + Fabulation Event is not like anything you have ever done before.
The event focuses on the three areas of Gerotranscendence. Those of you who have read Fifty & Fabulous recognize Gerotranscendence as the term coined by Swedish gerontologist Lars Tornstam to describe “a developmental possibility which begins at fifty years of age”. In the workshop Dr. Tornstam’s theory on aging and development creates a path along which participants can explore themselves as they enter the stage of human development that begins at fifty. Every stage of life has its own unique energy and the secret to success in each stage is to find and embrace that energy.
What you learn about living fifty plus could nourish the rest of your life!

Any woman over fifty is welcome particularly if you are:
• Asking yourself what is next
• T ransitioning to a new career or retirement
• Empty nesting or downsizing your home
• Caring for an aging parent
• Crafting a new life for yourself with new roles and relationships

I am very excited to announce that in 2012 I have partnered with Nature’s Emporium , Canada’s largest holistic market, in Newmarket, Ontario to present two Fifty+ Fabulation Events, workshops for women exploring life fifty+.

The Fifty & Fabulous mission fits right into Nature’s Emporium’s central goal of introducing and providing a healthy and natural life style to the community.
The powerful Fifty + Fabulation agenda will be enhanced with sessions on Outside Shine and Inside Glow presented by cosmetic and nutrition experts from the Emporium.

Here is how one former Fifty+ Fabulation attendee described her experience- “I feel that tremendous healing and power that comes from the forming of circles of women. Thank you a million times over for stepping out into your mission and providing a safe and loving environment for women to share their truths and open to one another. This is how change comes.”-Lori 55

Workshops are planned for March 29/30 and March 31/April1 and I hope to see many of my Toronto area readers at one of these events. Bring a friend and share the harvest of your wisdom.
