Thriving After 60

Have fun and get active as part of our healthy community

The Thriving After 60 (TA60) community is dedicated to keeping its members mentally and physically healthy—and having a good time in the process. You’ll have the opportunity to meet like-minded friends at our interesting events and workshops, which focus on supporting the changing health and wellness needs of those over 60. One day you could be learning about stress relief or life care planning. The next, you are out for an afternoon of dancing or a chair yoga session. Our activities are designed to help you maintain your health and energy, and stay connected with the community well into retirement.

Enjoy all the benefits of an active lifestyle

Thriving after 60 events and workshops are about much more than your physical health. Many focus on your mental well-being, and keep you informed on important topics.

 Others may engage you emotionally, whether it’s doing something you enjoy or just being in the company of friends.
