Soul of Aging Virtual Retreat Series

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. 

The moment you  know how, you begin to die a little. 

The artist never entirely knows. We guess. 

We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark. 

~Agnes de Mille

The Soul of Aging is a small-group program based on the work of Dr. Parker Palmer and The Center for Courage & Renewal.  It is for anyone yearning to explore the joys, challenges, and gifts of the aging process; to surrender to, and be transformed by the aging process. We will create and hold a safe space in which we may seek a deeper understanding of how to age well, with dignity and integrity.

Each retreat in this 3 part virtual series is designed to build on each other. Therefore,  participants are asked to attend all three retreats.

The Soul of Aging offers: ❖ a space to renew the heart, mind, and spirit through the exploration of the inner landscape of one’s life ❖ time to reconnect to one’s identity and integrity; identifying and honoring gifts & strengths and acknowledging our limits. ❖ a process to strengthen one’s self-awareness, with the help of others ❖ a space to deepen our conversation with ourselves, through tangible practices and specific guidelines ❖ a group in which powerful inquiry about the spiritual life can happen in a safe and confidential context ❖ an opportunity to practice deep listening and respectful speaking which can ultimately infiltrate and strengthen one’s life beyond the group ❖ a counter-culture approach to the problem solving, analytical, fast-paced world we often find ourselves in.
