During Active Aging Week, Peconic Landing embraced the philosophy inspired by ICAA, offering a variety of events promoting physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. The week began with guided walks through our 144-acre campus, encouraging natural movement. Outdoor yoga and pool tai chi catered to all abilities, ensuring everyone could participate meaningfully. Community engagement was a highlight, with events open to both Peconic Landing members and the public, fostering connections across generations. One participant shared how outdoor yoga inspired her to reintroduce regular physical activity into her life, showcasing the lasting impact. Intellectual enrichment featured lectures like Justice Holmes’ Battlefield Conversation and Mary L. Booth’s Story, sparking discussions and encouraging lifelong learning. From active older adults to those with limited mobility, all engaged in ways suited to their abilities, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and ICAA’s holistic approach. The diverse programming and sense of connection embodied the spirit of Active Aging Week, leaving participants inspired to continue living vibrant, active lives.
