About this Event

Lived Experience: What Connects Us Across Generations

There is something powerful in listening to those who have lived longer.

Not because their experiences are the same as ours, but because the wisdom shaped over time is unique to each of us. The choices we've made, the challenges we've faced, and the ways we continue forward all shape how we see the world today.

Our shared wisdom helps us better understand what connects us as we age. It helps us feel seen, and guides us on our own paths as we continue to live fully.

This live conversation brings together two of today’s elders, the first is a conversation with Alice Bowman, born in Newport, who recently turned 90, sharing reflections shaped over decades of lived experience. The second features Dr Jeremiah Lowney and his daughter Gail Lowney Alofsin, offering a personal exchange across generations.

This is not about looking back. It’s about how life continues to unfold. At every age, we want to feel seen, understood, and connected.

This gathering offers glimpses into key moments that shaped how two people have moved through life, and their sense of relevance, visibility, and purpose.

Join us for an evening of real conversation and connection across generations.

This conversation will resonate with today's elders, families, neighbors and community members who value connection across generations and a more human, shared approach to understanding the aging experience.

Complimentary light appetizers will be served, with a cash bar will be available.

All ticket proceed from this event will support the Parkgate Restoration Association. With appreciation to our community partners who helped make this gathering possible.

Hosted by Helen Hames, Founder of Age Ambassador.
