THRIVING IN TIMES OF STRUGGLE
What does it mean to flourish when the systems we depend on are under strain?
Flourish in Times of Struggle is a new podcast series for people who want to move beyond personal resilience and grapple with the deeper structures that shape our lives. In this opening episode, Michael C. Patterson introduces the series’ focus on systems, legitimacy, and collective action—and invites listeners to think together about how healthier, more democratic forms of governance might emerge.
Earlier Flourish As You Age podcasts focused more on personal change and development to promote brain health and mental management.

BRAIN HEALTH / YOGA: Keric Morinaga, Yoga & Aging
Comments? Send me a text message.
I recently recorded a conversation with Keric Morinaga who is a master teacher of yoga. In this podcast, I’ve pulled together the parts of the conversation that focused specifically on yoga and the process of aging. I started taking Keric’s challenging online classes at the beginning of the pandemic shut-down and, at age 72. As a result of the practice, I’ve become stronger and more balanced. I supplement Keric’s perspectives and insights with some of my thoughts on how yoga helps me work on many of the “CogWheels of Brain Health.”
