🌿 Embracing Elderhood: The Six Assets of Aging (Part 2)
Our Embracing Elderhood discussion group continues tomorrow with two new thought-provoking topics from our Six Assets of Aging series—highlighting the powerful gifts we gain as we grow older.
Wednesday, June 18th
2:00–3:30 PM
GenPride Center — 1521 Broadway, Seattle
This week’s conversation explores:
✨ Awareness of Mortality — how a deeper understanding of our limited time inspires us to savor life’s moments.
✨ Evolving Life Purpose — how aging invites us to redefine fulfillment, shifting focus from outside measures of success to personal meaning and spiritual growth.
This group is open to LGBTQ+ older adults seeking reflection, connection, and community.

In observance of Juneteenth, the GenPride Center will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th. Regular Thursday lunch and programming will be paused this week.
Juneteenth is a day of remembrance and celebration of the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans. It is also a time to honor the ongoing work toward racial justice and equity, values at the heart of GenPride’s mission and our commitment to an inclusive community for all.
We encourage you to join in community celebrations happening across Seattle!

🎥 This will be our final virtual screening as we take a break over the summer. Scarecrow Video is also shifting toward in-person programming, and we’re grateful for their partnership and support over the years.
