About the Event
The Leaves Speak Innovation Lab is a gathering where your voice can help shape new tools for aging, legacy, and connection. We believe the best ideas grow stronger when they are tested and refined with the wisdom of community. This session is designed to be interactive, meaningful, and easy to follow.
What We’ll Explore
During this Innovation Lab, you will be introduced to three new resources in development:
Scenario Planning Guide: Aging in 2040
A forward-looking workbook that invites us to imagine what aging could look like in the year 2040. This tool helps people think ahead, consider changes that may come, and prepare for the future with both hope and realism.
Facilitator’s Guide for a Reflective Journey
A guide for those who want to lead thoughtful conversations about aging and elderhood, creating safe spaces where stories and experiences can be shared.
Intergenerational Conversation Starter Prompts
A set of prompts designed to spark meaningful discussions between generations, encouraging wisdom to be passed down and new perspectives to be heard.
Why Your Feedback Matters
Your feedback is important. By sharing your thoughts, you can help us improve these resources so they are practical, easy to use, and meaningful for families, communities, and organizations. Every suggestion adds value.
