Join broadcaster and author Jacinta Parsons in conversation with Clare Bowditch as they explore A Wisdom of Age — an uplifting, inspiring book about the wisdom of older women – and what we can learn from them to rewrite the story of the second half of our lives.  

For this book, Jacinta mines wisdom directly from those who know how to do it well, those older women who say, “This is what feels good”. Capturing the brewing tone of revolution that sits in the hearts of middle-aged and older woman, A Wisdom of Age tells a different story about ageing – a story about reclaiming the fierce girl we have inside us; about an unapologetic taking up of space; and finally, about wisdom. 

Suitable for ages 15 and up.

Tickets $10. Bookings essential.
