Joan Virginia Allen doesn’t just talk about dynamic aging—she lives it. As a retired elder law and estate planning attorney turned dynamic aging life coach, memoirist, and publisher of the online “Dynamic Aging 4 Life Magazine,” Joan is committed to changing the narrative around aging.
Joan’s thought-provoking memoir, Navigating Dynamic Aging, challenges outdated assumptions about aging and reflects a cultural shift—from focusing on chronological age to reimagining life as a continuing adventure, embracing possibility, and discovering what’s next.
As an author, speaker, movement advocate and practitioner, she inspires others to approach life with a sense of curiosity—encouraging exploration of the many choices available to stay engaged, connected and fulfilled.
Joan is co-author of the internationally acclaimed and widely translated Dynamic Aging with renowned
biomechanist Katy Bowman—a groundbreaking work that has helped people worldwide to experience greater physical mobility and vitality as they age.
Focusing on new beginnings and evolving identity, she continues to challenge traditional narratives: becoming a dynamic aging life coach at 80, choosing to train for a demanding Yosemite hike at 84, launching an online magazine—and now, sharing this memoir.
With curiosity, courage, and the commitment to keep exploring, Navigating Dynamic Aging offers a call to action for anyone ready to live dynamically—on their own terms and timeline.
Join us for fine literature, refreshments, an inspiring presentation, and the company of other excellent writers and avid readers.
