The Possibility of Age:
Discover Aging as a Spiritual Path
Online with Barbara Richards
Four Wednesdays: October 16, 23, 30, November 6, 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.
