Celebrating Life 2023 is the brainchild of AgeNation Co-Founder’s George & Sedena Cappannelli in collaboration with Charter for Compassion, The Haverland Carter Neighborhood Foundation and Empower New Mexico. It is a follow-up to the Cappannellis last major, age-related initiative – a 40-episode, award-winning Ageless Living Television Series, which has aired on the PBS Network of stations since 2020 and is now also airing on Amazon Prime, Tubi and through Hoopla via local libraries around the country.
“This is a rare opportunity to take a pause from the noise and tumult of the outside world and experience a genuine infusion of hope and possibility and learn from this remarkable collection of experts about how to live longer, healthier and more rewarding lives and that it is never too soon or too late to learn new skills and to share our dreams,” said George Cappannelli. “Together with the featured guest presenters they are helping us all remember, even in this confusing and divided time, Buckminster Fuller’s sage reminder, ‘We were born to be the architects of the future, not its victims.’”
“Senior Center and Youth Center Directors, and Senior Living Communities are encouraged to organize group screenings for their members and residents. Individual participants are also encouraged to invite family and friends to register and benefit from this gift that will help those who participate to better navigate the troubled waters of our time,” added Sedena Cappannelli.
