Ageing with Grace, Purpose & Power
Inner Wheel (Online Session)
On 10 November 2025, EMAGE was invited by Inner Wheel to deliver an inspiring and interactive session titled “Ageing with Grace, Purpose, and Power.”
The session was conducted via Zoom and attended by 27 women from Inner Wheel in London including Inner Wheel members from other parts of UK.
During the talk, Dr. Laila Surani, Founder and CEO of EMAGE CIC guided participants through a reflective and empowering journey of embracing ageing with confidence, wisdom, and joy.
The presentation encouraged women to celebrate their life stories, reframe ageing as a stage of purpose and contribution, and recognise the strength and wisdom gained through their experiences. The session highlighted:
✅ Reframing ageing from decline to contribution
✅ Honouring lived wisdom and life achievements
✅ Rediscovering self-worth and identity beyond roles
✅ Strengthening community connections
✅ Nurturing joy, meaning, and lifelong growth
Inspirational real-life examples, including Sir Captain Tom Moore, Diana Athill, and Dr. Jane Goodall, helped illustrate how purpose and contribution continue to flourish at every age.
Two short activities — Wisdom Chain and Moments of Joy — gave participants space to share personal reflections, celebrate strengths, and highlight joyful moments in daily life.
The energy in the session was warm, enthusiastic, and uplifting. Participants engaged actively, sharing insights, laughter, and encouragement for one another.
The session concluded with a collective affirmation, reminding everyone that:
“Ageing is not decline — it is deepening. We are still growing. Our wisdom has power.”
We thank Inner Wheel and all participating members for their warm participation and look forward to continued collaboration to support healthy, purposeful, and connected ageing for women everywhere.
