Owning Wisdom Co-Facilitated with Blue Zones
Blue Zones: Optimizing Your Longevity
Oct 28 - Nov 2, 2024 in Santa Fe, USA Led by: Céline Vadam, Barbara Tint, Lizzy Wetzel
How do you extend your longevity and live happily and healthfully to 100 or beyond?
This is the question that National Geographic Fellow, bestselling author, and three-time Guinness World Record distance cycling holder Dan Buettner set out to answer on his quest to reverse-engineer a formula for longevity.
After scouring the globe to discover regions where people tend to live much longer than average, he discovered five distinct areas that boasted the highest rates of living centenarians. These areas, which Dan dubbed “Blue Zones,” include: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California.
Dan and his team investigated what these communities had in common to promote longevity and long-term health and wellbeing in residents and presented their findings in a compelling Netflix four-part docu-series called Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones that was watched by millions.
Now you can discover their secrets to improve your own health and wellbeing and ensure your life is as long as it is meaningful.
In this Owning Wisdom workshop co-facilitated with Céline Vadam from Blue Zones, you will discover how to harness the wisdom of proven longevity practices to increase your happiness, energy levels, vibrancy, and overall wellbeing as you make the most of your remaining decades on the planet.
