🎤 Final Presenter Spotlight 🌈

We’re honored to close out the Aging with Pride Resource Expo with a powerful and reflective session:

✨ Rev. Laura Bogle
🕒 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM
💫 Glitter and Grace: Aging as a Spiritual Practice

Whether or not you’re part of a religious community, we all carry spiritual needs and experiences. Aging invites us into the practices of holding on and letting go — reflecting on the stories we want to carry forward and how we move through life with intention, meaning, and grace.

This session will explore what it means, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals, to honor our stories, make them visible, and prepare to age with dignity and authenticity.

A meaningful and grounding way to close out the day. You won’t want to miss it.
