Shaping the Mindful Aging Series: Conversation and Listening
At The Threshold Center with Susanna Whitsett & Becca Impello
This conversation is open to anyone interested in cultivating well-being and connection as we grow older. Our hope is to gather the wisdom, questions, hopes, and lived experiences of seasoned adults, and to let what we hear shape a Mindful Aging program whose sessions feel meaningful and relevant to aging with greater awareness, connection, and purpose.
A "Mindful Aging Series" is in development at the Threshold Center, and we are asking these questions:
What conversations about aging are calling for attention?
What do we most need to age with greater awareness, purpose, and connection?
Please join us for a thoughtful conversation and time of listening that explores the questions, possibilities, and practices that may inform the development of a Mindful Aging Series. Your insights will help shape this future Threshold Center offering. We’d love to hear your voice.
What to expect:
In this 90 minute gathering, you will be invited into a facilitated discussion on potential program ideas for a series titled "Mindful Aging". Attendees will engage in conversation in a group setting and have the opportunity to share verbal and written responses in an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. Light refreshements will be served.

Executive Director Susanna Whitsett
As the new Executive Director, I am honored to steward the mission of The Threshold Center and to support it continuing as a place of welcome, connection and healing. I am committed to expanding the Center’s reach while remaining faithful to its soul. With deep gratitude and humility, I look forward to journeying with the community—listening, learning and leaning into existing and new programs where transformation can gently unfold. I recognize and appreciate the trust of Saint Stephen’s and Threshold Center communities in me to step into this important role.
Becca Impello
Becca discovered a fascination with the human body’s physical structure and ability just after college when she became a fitness instructor. This fascination led her further to the study of Physical Therapy, which she has been practicing in Birmingham since 1999. Becca simultaneously discovered yoga which fulfilled her desire to tune in to her own body and mind and revealed to her a wealth of therapeutic benefits. Her Physical Therapy practice evolved to using more breath and body awareness, and therapeutic modifications of yoga poses, and she became a certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She has developed and led numerous yoga and mindfulness workshops, professional trainings and retreats. Becca also works with clients one on one for individualized yoga instruction to address acute or chronic issues, learn modifications for safe entry into community classes, or develop a personal practice.
