Wisdom Group: Family Connections Through Life’s Next Chapters

Wisdom Group: Family Connections Through Life’s Next Chapters

Thursday, November 19th at 1 pm – 3 pm

2nd Summit is excited to highlight University of Denver's Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging and Purposeful Aging's Wisdom Group gatherings. 2nd Summit Founder David Thomas will start the conversation, discussing how connection and relationships are at the heart of our organization.

Relationships don’t stand still—they grow and change as our lives do. Join renowned family therapist and author Dr. Shelly Smith-Acuna at the Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging at The University of Denver for a thoughtful look at how our closest connections evolve over time.

Drawing on her extensive experience in couple and family therapy, Dr. Smith-Acuna will explore why relationships shift as our roles, routines, and priorities change—and how we can respond in ways that support healthier, more meaningful connections. You’ll hear practical insights that may help you better understand, navigate, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.

This free Wisdom Group event also features 2nd Summit’s own David Thomas, sharing how 2nd Summit helps adults 55+—with everyone welcome—build relationships and connection through shared curiosity and activity. It’s a relaxed chance to learn, reflect, and connect with others who care about keeping their relationships strong in their next chapter.
