What is a Blue Zone?
Blue Zones are hot spots of longevity and are good places to start building a longer health span by building a forward looking community.
What do Blue Zones have in common?
The first principle of 120 and Beyond, and Blue Zones is... Community. The Venn diagram above includes the terms Healthy Social Circle and Social Engagement.
But Community means much, much more. Communities are social units with something in common, eg. norms, values, that share a sense of place (village, town), often with a common cultural and historical heritage. Communities have durable relations beyond immediate genealogical ties, and have members who often share, intents, beliefs, needs, preferences, resources and some measure of cohesiveness.

So let us now build our own 120 and Beyond
or Blue Zone Tai Chi Community.
