Settle in for an uplifting, inspiring evening at Montalto with broadcaster and writer Jacinta Parsons as she celebrates the wisdom gained in ageing as a woman – and redefines the story of the second half of our lives.
What can ageing teach us? For Jacinta Parsons, the answer is – perhaps everything.
Inspired by many conversations with women across the country, A Wisdom of Age captures the brewing tone of revolution that sits in the hearts of women who are ready to tell a new kind of story about the experience of growing older.
Set against the backdrop of an intimate two-course dinner at Montalto, Parsons will reflect on her own experience of ageing, alongside the powerful stories of the remarkable women she’s encountered – each offering unique tales of resilience, wisdom and grace – and the lessons they’ve imparted.
She joins host Hilary Harper for an honest, thought-provoking and energising conversation about ageing with love and the spirit of rebellion.
