FUTURAE: Longevity & The Search for Profound Meaning
Without a deep sense of purpose, meaning, and existential clarity, longevity is just an extension of time. True longevity is about a life infused with depth, vitality, and expansion—where every day holds significance, and every action fuels regeneration at a cellular and spiritual level. This session explores the interplay between meaning, purpose, and longevity, revealing how our personal mythology, relationships, and contributions shape biological aging.

Meaning is not abstract—it is biochemical, neurological, and epigenetic. Research shows that people with deep purpose and strong social bonds age more slowly, recover from illness faster, and sustain cognitive function longer. This session dives into:
The neurobiology of purpose—how dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin create resilience and longevity
Existential depth & longevity—how inner fulfillment shifts hormonal balance and genetic expression
Personal mythology & storytelling—how the narratives we create influence biological repair and regeneration
Human connection, mentorship, and legacy-building—how shaping the future enhances our own lifespan
Longevity is not just about the body—it is about a life fully lived, a body in motion, a mind in constant expansion.Without meaning, we stagnate. With meaning, we regenerate.
