An Evening with the Elders

SAVOY DENVER
December 14, 2026
7:00pm

Pull up a chair and settle in for a cozy evening of cookie decorating, hot cocoa, and connection. Joyce Cole, Michael Gold and one other artistic facilitator will guide a gentle conversation about life, loss, and finding company during the holidays.

With cookies to decorate and warm mugs in hand, we'll make room for shared stories, listening, and simply being together. Whether the season feels joyful, difficult, or a little of both, you're welcome at the table.
