Join us for the inaugural program in Living Wisely in a Digital World, a new monthly Lifelong Learning at Bucks discussion series exploring the opportunities, challenges, and everyday realities of living in an increasingly connected and technology-driven world. Through engaging conversations, practical insights, and thoughtful reflection, this series will help lifelong learners navigate emerging technologies and digital life with greater confidence, curiosity, and intention.
Our first conversation, Finding Balance in the Age of AI, focuses on artificial intelligence and its growing role in everyday life. Through guided discussion, practical demonstrations, and small-group reflection, led by CJ Stasik, founder of SheHandlesIt, participants will discover approachable ways AI can assist with tasks such as planning, organizing, writing, and brainstorming while also exploring the uniquely human qualities that technology cannot replace. Together, we'll reflect on creativity, wisdom, authenticity, connection, and intentional living, leaving with a deeper understanding of AI and greater confidence in finding balance during a time of rapid technological change. Light refreshments will be provided. No technical experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to join the conversation.
