Midlife Renaissance: Reinvention, Creativity & New Beginnings With Amanda Billing

This talk is part of the Midlife Muses Series 🔥

Actor, writer, photographer and creative polymath Amanda Billing joins us for a conversation about reinvention, creativity and the power of beginner's mind. From completing a 100-day pottery challenge earlier this year, to continually exploring new creative frontiers, Amanda embodies what it means to keep growing, creating and beginning again.

Join us for a talk that is a mix of inspiration, insight and possibility. We'll cover things like:

• What if midlife isn't a crisis but a renaissance?

• Reinvention, creativity and identity in midlife

• What Amanda witnesses when women get their photos taken with her

• The role of creativity in midlife and how to stay creatively alive 

• Becoming more yourself rather than “starting over”

• Commitment to something as a practice

• Comfort zones and the danger of becoming overly self-protective

Midlife Muses is a series of conversations, not prescriptions. Together we explore creativity, reinvention, purpose, ageing, relationships, wellbeing and what it means to live a rich and meaningful life. The intention isn't to provide answers but to spark reflection, inspiration, new possibilities, and, hopefully, different ways of seeing the world and ourselves.

This event is included for all women enrolled in The Rising Winter Cohort. Please use your codes to register.
