Our 2025 Active Aging Guide
Discover the People, Programs, and Passions
Keeping Our Community Active, Connected,
and Thriving Well Past 65
By Tiana Molony & Indy Staff | August 21, 2025
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from putting together this issue of Active Aging, it’s that life doesn’t stop at 65 — in many ways, it’s just the beginning.
You’ll see what I mean as you dive into this special edition, where you’ll meet senior hockey players redefining what it means to age actively, and LGBTQ+ elders who recognize that social connection is just as vital as physical health.
You might also be surprised to learn that poetry isn’t just for younger generations — it can be a powerful outlet for creativity at any stage of life. Above all, you’ll come away with the sense that aging is a journey worth celebrating.
