“….creative aging is about possibilities and “freeing ourselves of limiting beliefs about aging and embracing the reality that individuals continue to grow, learn, and contribute to their communities throughout the life journey.”  Pat Spadafora, Kaleidoscope Consulting

“To me, the Creative Age is that 25 years between retirement and the onset of frailty when older adults are still active, productive and engaged in making creative contributions to their communities.” Kathy Smith, Creative Age Network
