PLEASE NOTE:
In service of honoring the safety and well-being of our community, we have made the decision not to hold in-person sessions March 14-April 15. This decision is sourced in our dedication to simultaneously providing ongoing support and a safe environment for all members of our precious community.
We hope that you will consider joining the next session of Conscious Aging beginning on September 14.
Sincerely,
Katie & Marianne
An Exploration of Becoming an Elder
An 8-class course researched & developed by Institute of Noetic Sciences
As we begin to experience the changes and challenges that arise in the experiences of mid- to later-life, we have the opportunity to deepen our understanding of ourselves, each other and the world around us. Approaching the process of aging with consciousness and compassion offers the invitation to become more balanced and intentional through these life transitions.
The Conscious Aging program engages meditation, mindfulness, envisioning, collective discussion, and reflective journaling to cultivate shifts in consciousness — away from self-limitation, lack, isolation, and fear— towards expansiveness, inclusiveness, wholeness, and connection. In this safe and supportive container, we bring respectful, mindful attention and dialogue to this process of becoming Elders.
Session topics: Self-compassion, Forgiveness, Life Review, Transformative Practices, Death Makes Life Possible, Surrender / Letting Go, and Creating a New Vision of Aging.
