June 25, 2022 in Conference News

“For me?”

YES! For adults 55+.

Hey! What’s Our Whole Lives?

Our Whole Lives is a comprehensive, values-based, affirming, multi-age human sexuality curriculum… and every one of those adjectives is important! OWL is a joint project of the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association.

  • Sexuality and Aging

  • Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

  • Intimacy and Boundaries

  • Body Image

We will be using Zoom video conference. Participants will need a laptop computer or other Internet-connected device with a camera and microphone.

When is this happening?

Participants can choose Sunday or Wednesday afternoons, 4 pm to 5:30 pm AZ / 5 pm to 6:30 pm NM-EP.

Sundays: September 4, 11, 18, October 2, 9, 16

Wednesdays: September 7, 14, 21, October 5, 12, 19

About the Our Whole Lives Older Adult Curriculum

The Our Whole Lives Older Adult curriculum takes a values-based, social justice approach to the sexuality of adults in midlife and beyond. This curriculum is designed to meet the needs of the rowing population of longer-lived adults for whom few sexuality resources have been created.

OWL for Older Adults shares the program values of other age levels:

  • Self-Worth

  • Sexual Health

  • Responsibility

  • Justice and Inclusivity
