“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”– Mary Oliver
For Ages 65 and Older
This workshop offers a warm and thoughtful space for exploring the rich terrain of elderhood. Together, we will create a safe and intelligent environment and an intentional container for reflection, connection, and discovery. Drawing on the Change and Transition Process and timeless sources of wisdom, including mindfulness practices, the Seven Factors of Awakening, and guided meditations, we will explore how to live with more grace and vitality amidst the reality of impermanence. This course is an invitation into deep personal inquiry. It is an opportunity to reclaim elderhood as a time of more wisdom, meaning, and contentment.
Topics We Will Explore Together:
- The power of tribal community and shared presence
- The transformational potential of group investigation
- Making peace with the realities of aging, limitation, and loss of independence
- The empowerment that comes from turning toward death with awareness
- Cultivating well-being that is independent of outer condition
- Developing personal agency and inner authority
- Taking stock of this life stage and identifying meaningful action steps
What You Can Expect to Take Away:
