The Possibility of Age: Discover Aging as a Spiritual Path
With Barbara Richards
April 23 - May 14, 2025
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.
This event is offered through the partnership of
Pacific Jubilee and Naramata Centre
Bursary funds are available through Naramata Centre.
