Colin Milner: Creating Cultures of Connection, Purpose, and Active Aging

<p>Colin Milner, founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, to discuss creating a true culture of active aging. </p><p>Colin defines active aging as being actively engaged in life, grounded in a whole-person wellness model that goes beyond physical fitness to include mind, spirit, environment, purpose, and connection. </p><p>We address persistent ageism in wellness and senior living, including “bubble-wrapping” older adults with overly cautious programming, and emphasize using research and education to change assumptions about capability and improvement even into late life. </p><p>Colin describes what an age-friendly culture looks like—autonomy, agency, inclusion, empathy, and community access for all ages—and shares future-focused insights on personalization, precision, genetics, technology, and closing the 12.4-year gap between lifespan and healthspan, stressing that HI—human intelligence and interconnection—remains central.</p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.icaa.cc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.icaa.cc/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.agentsofmovement.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.agentsofmovement.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
