ABOUT THE EVENT
Re-Defining Ageing 2021
Join 200 women for the event in-person at Sydney’s iconic Museum of Contemporary Arts. Be part of a community, meet new women and expand your network of women who are finding their purpose and rewriting the narrative on women and ageing.
"If there is one event you want to go to for self-development, then Silver Sirens is it! It encompassed absolutely everything I was looking for in mind, body and spirit as a mature 51-year-old, and I didn’t know this is what I was seeking until I attended this event!"
- 2019 Attendee

SILVER SIRENS 2021 TOPICS
For one powerful day, our Silver Sirens leaders will explore the pillars of enhanced living.
Ageing Across Culture
What if the limited, constrictive confines of our own western cultural perspective are an illusion?
Ageing in the Workplace
Are you being overlooked for certain jobs? Are your opinions no longer sought? We’ll hear how other women have managed and triumphed over these scenarios.
Ageing in the Public Eye
What is it like to live out this most personal - and sometimes excruciating - emotional and physical reckoning under the klieg lights of public media attention and judgement? What if you are only getting better with age, but your professional core identity and demographic appeal is associated with youth?
Our Elders Are Treasures
An old African proverb maintains that, “When an Elder dies, a library burns to the ground.” Usually, it’s not until we’re older that we appreciate the wisdom of those who have come before. In this conversation 2 generation Y will explore the wisdom and knowledge of 2 Elders in this enriching conversation across the generations.

"This was my first attendance at a Silver Sirens event; I didn’t know what to expect - but what I got were stories from the heart from so many of the speakers which left me feeling that midlife did not have to mean an ending and that I could do anything!"

MEET THE FOUNDER OF SILVER SIRENS
Faith Agugu
If you want to shift your inner dialogue about ageing, Faith Agugu is the woman to have in your corner. She has always had the instinct that she would get better with age, and she is hoping to inspire other women into the same mindset, hence Silver Sirens.
In 2018 Faith launched the inaugural Silver Sirens event in Sydney. “We had some iconic Australian women who took the stage to speak about this potent and transformational period of our lives. Health, beauty, business, leadership and spirituality were all on the agenda on the day."
As a trained psychotherapist with a Bachelor of Social Science, Faith has helped hundreds of women at her Sydney-based practice, The Healing Process, to experience their ‘third age’ as a renaissance of self and true rebirth.
Faith believes that women often internalise cultural messages that warp our ideas of age into something to ignore or even fear, blinding us to our own accomplishments, sexiness and worth.
Faith’s vision to be of service to a wider audience has garnered an audience that doubles year on year, and national media attention, such as feature articles on Silver Sirens in Mindfood Magazine and The Guardian.
"Today was such a fantastic mix of comedy, deep confrontation, intensely private moments, hope, inspiration and embracing change.
Every person who stepped on the stage had something insightful to offer.
I’m grateful you got the call Faith and had the courage to give birth to it and I was able to be a part of something so sacred"
