    logo_OLLISedona AZ (April 5, 2013) – Sedona OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) presents “Aging Gracefully,” a free, afternoon event with locally well-known speakers on how to thrive in spite of the challenges of aging, and how to acquire and maintain a positive outlook.

    OLLI facilitators Andy Spheeris and Anne Crosman will co-host the event on Friday, April 12, 1 – 4 p.m. at the Sedona Public Library. A panel of six experts will discuss how to develop and nurture a healthy level of intimacy, spirituality, sensuality, medical care, and creativity in the senior years. Facilitator Andy Spheeris, at 88 years old, has been described as the “poster child” for aging well. Co-facilitator Anne Crosman is author of the book Young At Heart: Aging Gracefully With Attitude.

    Aging is inevitable, but it can be done with intelligence, grace, and a good attitude. The speaker’s panel will cover various facets of a leading balanced life while aging, and will answer audience questions.

    Debra Jean Smith, speaker, author, and counselor, otherwise known as the sensuality sage, will detail ways to have empowered sensuality well into the 90s. Debra has taught OLLI classes on better sexuality and male-female communication.

    The Reverend Bruce Kellogg is an ordained Unity Minister who serves as the spiritual educator, counselor, and minister at Unity Center of the Valley in Cottonwood. He will address the importance of our connection with spirit, for a better and happier mindset.

    Dr. Nick Paslidis, Chief Medical Officer at Verde Valley Medical Center (VVMC), will highlight ways to maintain our physical bodies and health for maximum operation.

    One Bullet Away

    There’s a storm cloud coiling over America, and most don’t see it yet. But it’s there. Dark. Imminent. Unavoidable. Call it fate, call it consequence—but don’t call it fiction. The divide is real. And it’s calcifying by the hour.
