About
Elderescence Academy — Podcast Description Elderescence Academy is a podcast devoted to embodied ageing, creative vitality, and strength in later life. Hosted by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA, artist, author, and founder of the Elderescence Academy™, this series explores what it means to live well, move beautifully, and continue becoming as we age. Rather than treating ageing as decline, Elderescence Academy™ approaches later life as a period of expansion—where creativity deepens, the body learns new intelligence, and confidence is rebuilt through practice. Episodes draw from movement disciplines, music, pole and ballet fusion, posture, balance, artistry, mental wellbeing, and the quiet psychology of self-trust. This is not academic theory. It is Elderescence in practice. Each episode offers reflective essays, lived insights, gentle provocations, and practical perspectives designed for adults who wish to remain curious, capable, and expressive in their bodies and lives—at any age. Elderescence Academy is a living project: rooted in elegance, strength, and the freedom to keep evolving.
