Aging as a Spiritual Journey
Aging is a new frontier for many of us fraught with confusion, uncertainty, anxiety, and loss. But it can also be a time of great awakening, and empowerment.
When we recognize the importance of our inner lives as we make decisions about how to live our outer lives it allows us to grow and thrive emotionally and spiritually as we age positively and as Ron Pevny says, “inherit the legacy our lives have prepared for us.”
“Aging positively and consciously is about believing in our potential for fulfillment, growth and service.” This day long retreat will explore the late life journey, and how to move from “age-ing to sage-ing” and begin the “inner work of age” in order to shift from “role to soul” on the voyage to wholeness and “conscious eldering.”
Together we will create a safe space and cultivate the support found in true community as we delve into the work that only we can do for ourselves supported by others.
