WORKSHOPS FOR SENIORS

Conducted by Anne Fielding and Jeffrey Carduner

“Seniors hear a fresh understanding of themselves, the world, other people!”
—The Queens Tribune, NY

Since 1994, thousands of senior citizens have attended these workshops—at centers and senior residences in the New York metropolitan area, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and Florida. Through them, men and women get new hope, new perception, as they learn—with magnificent practical immediacy—what Aesthetic Realism explains: the most urgent need of every person is to like the world on an honest basis. And these lively and kind talks—with audience participation—show seniors how they can authentically like the world, and what interferes!

You can view and print a brochure about these workshops.

Some of the exciting presentations you can arrange for your center or living community:

♦ Using Love, the Family & Age to Like the World

♦ Every Person Can Tell You Something about Yourself

¡El Realismo Estético Muestra Cómo Toda Persona Puede Enseñarle Algo sobre Usted Mismo¡

♦ Love Is for Liking the World

♦ Memory Shows That We’re Connected to the Whole World

♦ Art, Humor, & Anger—How Can We See People in a Beautiful Way?

♦ Our Most Urgent Need Is to Like the World: We Begin with Objects!

Ms. Fielding and Mr. Carduner speak deeply about what they themselves have learned from Aesthetic Realism….and through instances of drama, poetry, and paintings by such great artists as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Picasso, Renoir — and Grandma Moses — participants are thrilled to see what Aesthetic Realism explains: the questions of life are answered in outline in the art of the world.
