Are you yearning to continue in meaningful and uplifting conversations about aging?
These gatherings are open to those who have attended The Possibility of Age: Discover Aging as a Spiritual Path or a Spiritual Eldering Retreat at Naramata Centre
Fall Series – The Path of Joy: Harvesting Wisdom, Expressing Love
“Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic selfhood,
whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be
As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks
– we will also find our path of authentic service in the world.”
~ Parker Palmer
As we come into the harvest season, we will deepen into our soulful aging journey by harvesting the fruits of our lives. In three monthly sage-ing circles we will:
- Explore ways to cultivate self-compassion, allowing us to embrace our aging journey with acceptance and kindness.
- Gain insights into elder consciousness – the Transcendent level of adult development – and how it can positively shape our lives.
- Engage in the profound process of life harvesting to heal, integrate lessons, and claim our unique wisdom.
Through reflection, dialogue, and group conversation we will open ourselves to healing, guidance and inspiration that will empower you to tap into a new vision of yourself and this stage of your life.
What are Sage-ing Circles?
Aging consciously and becoming a wise elder is a process that can be greatly enriched by the company of like-minded companions. But in our youth-based culture it is not easy to find a community of people willing to talk about life and death, aging and meaning, beginnings and endings, and all of the letting go that is part of aging. To help create and nurture community, we are offering this series of Sage-ing Circles which will empower you to embrace both the challenges and opportunities of life’s third chapter. We will explore principles and practices that cultivate wisdom, peace, gratitude, and the unfolding of your full potential.
These live, online gatherings will blend:
- Slowing down, reflecting, and listening to your inner wisdom.
- Exploring ideas and practices of transformative aging.
- Engaging in dialogue with others about things that matter.
- Learning from and be encouraged by the wisdom of the group.
- Reflecting and taking action between sessions
This event is offered through the partnership of
Pacific Jubilee and Naramata Centre
Bursary funds are available through Naramata Centre.
