Details of this retreat
Are you facing the uncharted post-career years, wondering what’s next?
Many of us approaching the third chapter of life feel unsettled, restless and adrift. We sense the years 55 – 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 gathering 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.
