Abstract	This Ideas in Practice article investigates lifelong learning practices in a women's studies course at a program of Osher OLLI (Lifelong Learning Institute). The course adopted a holistic and positive approach by celebrating lifelong learners' strengths--their invaluable backgrounds and life experiences--fostering vitality and wholesomeness in older adults. By engaging them in active and participative learning, the instructor enabled students to enrich the classroom and validate their values and attitudes toward women's issues. Proven feminist pedagogy, employed by the instructor, constructed a classroom culture of community, belonging, and connectedness. Implications for lifelong learning education are examined.
