Rebecca J. Lloyd, full professor and SSHRC-funded InterActive for Life researcher, has developed the Function2Flowconceptual model and the methodology of Motion-Sensing Phenomenology—pathways to research and teach toward the kinesthetic cultivation of flow that she has applied to a variety of contexts such as physical education, teacher education, dance, climbing, hooping, and more recently active aging education. Her current SSHRC-funded partnership project with the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA)explores joy and relational connection in ‘Best in Wellness’ award-winning senior living communities. Multi-modal data gathered from participatory observations, focus groups, and individual interviews from residents, leaders, directors and CEOs of three communities – Splendido in Arizona, Sunnyside in Virginia, and Tapestry in Victoria Harbour, are being analyzed, with guidance from her advisory board, with the goal of inspiring anti-agist, social-emotional changes in active-aging education and programs.
