We are calling for professionals to present one-hour breakout sessions on the following topics:

• "Storytelling": the "how," "why," and "experience" of telling our stories. It’s exploring the power in the "telling." This goes beyond reminiscence and into the heart of understanding and validating what aging means to each individual.

• "Concepts of Caring": a track designed for all of us who are giving care. What does it mean to us as individuals and as professionals when we provide care to another? We will explore, define, and refine the role(s) and expertise of all caregivers.

• "The Body’s Story": Just as hearts and emotions have a story to tell, our bodies ‘speak’ to where we stand on the path of aging. This track will explore the roadblocks which stifle the ‘living’ of the aging process and open new pathways of healthier, fuller living.
