 Elderescence Academy — Podcast Description

Elderescence Academy is a podcast devoted to embodied ageing, creative vitality, and strength in later life. Hosted by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA, artist, author, and founder of the Elderescence Academy™, this series explores what it means to live well, move beautifully, and continue becoming as we age. Rather than treating ageing as decline, Elderescence Academy™ approaches later life as a period of expansion—where creativity deepens, the body learns new intelligence, and confidence is rebuilt through practice. Episodes draw from movement disciplines, music, pole and ballet fusion, posture, balance, artistry, mental wellbeing, and the quiet psychology of self-trust.

This is not academic theory.

It is Elderescence in practice. Each episode offers reflective essays, lived insights, gentle provocations, and practical perspectives designed for adults who wish to remain curious, capable, and expressive in their bodies and lives—at any age.

Elderescence Academy is a living project:

    Elderescence with Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

    Elderescence is a visual and written project exploring creativity, ageing well, and self-confidence built from within.This space brings together reflective drawing, digital mark-making, fashion studies, and quiet visual essays — alongside themes of fitness, beauty, and style as acts of self-trust rather than correction.The work is slow, intentional, and human. Less about perfection. More about presence.Elderescence is concerned with:
    • Creative longevity
    • Ageing without erasure
    • Fashion as identity, not trend
    • Fitness as energy, not punishment
    • Beauty as expression, not compliance
    • Reinvention after change
    This work is part of a wider ecosystem that includes podcasts, essays, publishing, and long-form projects — but here, the focus is visual thinking: ideas, bodies, posture, fabric, gesture, and tone.

    This is not aspirational lifestyle imagery. It is lived confidence.
