developed with Jenny Koons
Specifically created for senior adults, Now Becomes Then is an intimate, interactive experience that takes place on a Zoom video call. Each one-on-one experience involves an element of chance: participants are paired with a “guide” who will lead them through a randomly selected series of questions, prompts, poems, or mini adventures that invite moments of self-reflection, conversation, and human-to-human engagement.
