Homeopathy & Healthy Aging: Practical Support for Comfort, Resilience, and Quality of Life
Wednesday, April 8 | 1:00–2:30 PM
Curious about homeopathy and how it may support aging bodies, especially alongside or in place of conventional medical care? This talk offers a clear, grounded introduction to homeopathy as a gentle, individualized system of care that some people use to support everyday comfort and overall well being.
We’ll focus on real-life concerns that commonly come up with aging, including joint stiffness and arthritis, sleep changes, stress, low energy, immune system changes, recurring infections, and digestive sensitivity. We’ll also touch on aging with HIV and where homeopathy has long played a role as supportive care all around the world. For example with stimulating appetite and weight gain, and addressing medication side-effects and even supporting the enhancement of conventional treatments.
You’ll leave with:

A straightforward understanding of what homeopathy is (and how it differs from herbs/supplements and other alternative therapies)
Practical, low-risk supportive strategies you can use at home to manage pain
Guidance on how homeopathy is typically used alongside prescriptions and ongoing medical care
Plenty of time for Q&A

Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life: Prostate Cancer Education
2026-04-28 14:00 - 15:30 | Stonewall Meeting Room, 1301 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, Colorado, 80218
Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life
This weekly discussion group is facilitated by a West of 50 staff member and focuses on dismantling sexual misconceptions and introducing evidence-based topics to help older adults engage in their best sex-positive-selves. The group operates based on important and fundamental concepts about sexuality and ages. Older adults can examine and possibly change the “sexual scripts” they have learned from childhood about to think and behave as sexual people. Many of these scripts are not relevant for older adults. Additionally, sex is more than intercourse. Especially in the later years, individuals can to explore the possibilities of non-penetrative sex, or “outercourse”.

Participants will also learn about available screening options and receive a helpful resource map highlighting local places where they can get screened. We’ll wrap up with an interactive activity to test knowledge, clear up common myths, and keep the conversation engaging.
