The Possibility of Age: Discover Aging as a Spiritual Path


The Possibility of Age:
Discover Aging as a Spiritual Path

Online with Barbara Richards

Four Wednesdays: April 24, May 1, 8, 15, 2024

1:30 – 3:30 pm Pacific Time

Are you facing the uncharted post-career years, wondering what’s next?

Many of us who are approaching the third chapter of life feel unsettled, restless, and adrift. We sense the years 55 to 80+ can be some of our best, but we don’t know how to navigate the changes that come with aging.

Sage-ing, also called spiritual eldering or conscious aging, offers an inner roadmap that approaches this chapter of life as a time of rich spiritual and personal growth – a time that can bring gifts not available in earlier decades.

In this series, our inner work will include:

·   Transforming our images of aging

·   Cultivating the consciousness of a wise elder

·   Harvesting our wisdom through life review

·   Healing our past through forgiveness and recontextualizing

·   Embracing our mortality in order to live more fully

·   Envisioning ways of creating legacy that is our gift to the future


This live, online event will blend:

·   Listening to your own inner wisdom and guidance

·   Exploring inspirational ideas and practices

·   Sharing in safe, respectful conversation circles

·   Harvesting the collective wisdom of the group

·   Reflecting and taking action between sessions

Come and explore a new view of aging with like-minded people. Grow in clarity, self-compassion, creative expression, and peace.

This event is offered through the partnership of Pacific Jubilee and Naramata Centre.

The cost for four two-hour sessions via Zoom is $172.00. Book now and receive a 20% discount. Offer valid until April 16, 2024
