About Ralph
I’m Ralph Cohen, founder of Lively Minds Senior Forum, passionate about bringing engaging debates and discussions to seniors in independent and assisted living communities around the United States. With an MBA from the University of Connecticut and over 10 years of facilitation experience at over 60 communities around the country, I design inclusive, thought-provoking sessions tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
Fueled by a love for debate and discussion, I’m committed to creating lively conversations that build community and spark joy. My goal is to ensure every voice is heard, making each session meaningful and fun. Let’s enrich lives together!

Curious what an online Lively Minds discussion looks like in practice? This 10-minute sample video features Ralph leading a real discussion with residents. The conversation begins with Elon Musk and the role of wealth in society before expanding into a broader exchange of ideas, opinions, and personal experiences.

Try your first session risk free
We want communities to experience the value of our discussions firsthand. Your first session is completely risk-free. If you decide not to schedule another session afterward, there is no charge for the initial program. If you choose to continue, the first session is billed at your previously agreed-upon rate, and future sessions can be scheduled at your convenience.
