Synopsis:

Specially designed for 60+* individuals, this five-part workshop invites participants to become active creators of their own narratives and agencies, to reflect on their choices, turning points, relationships, and values that have shaped their lives, and to consider how these stories continue to inform who they are and who they are becoming.

With facilitator and seasoned gerontologist Normala Manap, participants will be able to approach their life story with the expertise it deserves, and reflect on them in a safe, supportive space. This workshop is conducted in English.

As a gerontologist and yoga teacher, Normala Manap has, for three decades, shaped Singapore's aged care sector. Passionate about the possibilities of later life, she is also a master coach of Guided Autobiography, a creative writing method that turns memory into a new perspective on living.

Set up by independent arts company T:>Works, The AGEncy Fest is an enabling platform nurturing the capacities of 60+ individuals and fostering intergenerational collaboration. It is supported by The AGEncy Fund, raised in part from the public.
