How do you build and maintain relationships as you get older? What qualities matter most in the people you choose to keep in your life? Whether it's a friendship, a romance, a community connection, or something in between, lasting relationships can enrich our lives and help us feel less alone. In this session, we'll explore the connections that matter most, how they've changed over time, and what we're looking for in this next chapter of life. Join us for an open and supportive conversation about friendship, companionship, and finding your people.
