Free Annual Aging Conference Revived for 2021

DENVER, CO – Kavod Senior Life (Kavod) will be hosting its 7th annual conference in June to reach  older adults with resources, expertise, and advice on aging well.  

Called “L’Chaim2Life,” the event will be delivered virtually this year, parsed out over various days  during the month via Zoom. The event is a pivot from prior years’ format of a one-day event with  27 breakout sessions, lunch and a resource fair.

This year Kavod will bring in nine+ experts for workshops that cover a range of topics, including  spirituality, consumer protection, and physical, mental, and emotional wellness. 

There will also be a keynote speaker, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Ph.D., an analytical psychotherapist,  author, and Jewish Renewal rabbi. She will present the last workshop on Healing the Wounds of the Past and Present: How to Live in an Uncertain World with Resilience & Joy. 

ANB Bank is the title sponsor for the event. Presenting Partners for the event include Temple  Emanuel, JEWISHcolorado, Shalom Park, Hebrew Educational Alliance, and B’nai B’rith  Colorado.  

“It has been such a blessing to see so many boomers, seniors, family members and caregivers  come to this free event for so many years,” says Rabbi Stephen Booth-Nadav, Chaplain for  Kavod Senior Life and event committee member. “They always leave renewed and enriched with  new resources and ideas for living and aging well.” 

Pre-registration is encouraged. Individuals who RSVP by Monday, May 24 will receive a free  insulated lunch bag and partner resources.
