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
Winter Series – The Path of Joy: Inviting Healing, Cultivating Peace
“Our task in elderhood is to give ear to that voice calling for authentic life and to complete its call to the best of our ability”
~ Zalman Schacter-Shalomi
In this fallow season of winter, we will look inward to listen, heal, and gain freedom for the new growth of spring. In three monthly sage-ing circles we will:
- Unlock hidden wisdom available to us from past difficult relationships.
- Cultivate deeper peace through the profound process of ‘midwifing’ our own death.
- Discover new expressions of love and creativity that want to be birthed this year.
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 ourselves and this stage of our lives
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.
