What participants are saying about the program:

"New insights, beautiful encounters, and the feeling that I still have a lot to look forward to as I age. The sessions are very informative and have broadened my perspective on aging. Sometimes, it's also confronting because there's still work for me to do, but that also energizes me."

“It makes me reflect on the whole topic of conscious ageing which is so much deeper than I was willing to dig for, and it’s a lot more fun to share experiences in a circle of fellow seekers.”

“It has helped me in my transition into retirement, addressing very relevant and timely topics in the company of fellow participants who are each exploring their own aging journey. Its enriching to experience their different perspectives.”

Meet your guide on the journey: Milena Milankovics

My journey into conscious ageing commenced in my early 40s when I realized the finite nature of my lifetime. Rather than merely pursuing a comfortable existence, I embarked on a quest for a purposeful life. Some may label it a midlife crisis, but I prefer to call it a midlife change.

At that juncture, I found myself at a crossroads. While uncertain about the exact life I desired, I was acutely aware of what I didn't want. Surprisingly, I struggled to identify role models who had navigated conscious choices for active and purposeful ageing. This realization coincided with an increased awareness of the extraordinary challenges confronting our generation—climate change, demographic shifts, social transformations, economic fluctuations, and an ongoing technological revolution (this was well before the advent of COVID and AI). Challenges the generations before us never had to navigate.

As I delved deeper into the subject, absorbing literature and insights, my initial confusion and sense of powerlessness transformed into creative energy, inspiration, and a resolute determination to shape and share a different narrative of ageing. A narrative centred around conscious ageing and the pursuit of an active, healthy, and purposeful life.

Over the years, Conscious Ageing has evolved into the central focus of my life and professional endeavours. As a Gestalt therapist, co-founder of the Hekate Conscious Ageing Foundation, and social entrepreneur, I've dedicated myself to this transformative journey.

In the UnfOlding program, I've distilled the essence of my learnings from the vibrant Conscious Ageing community across Europe, my therapeutic clients, extensive literature, and insights from experts and researchers.

I look forward to embarking on this journey of conscious ageing together. I am excited to guide and learn alongside you!
