As we age, many of us want to continue our call to draw nearer, to transform the way we experience each day and the way we relate to everything… To make the subtle shift from the surface ‘I’’ to the deeper ‘We’, alongside the grief we experience due to illnesses, new limitations, the loss of loved ones.
During the year, we aim to hold the space for us all to listen and share the Wisdom alive within ourselves and each other, and the gifts of simplicity, truth and freedom that flow from that. The intention is to tenderly open to the different challenges and possibilities that aging offers, knowing that there are no experts on it.
We encourage anyone to join us who is wishing to deepen their journey of transitioning into ‘eldership’. It will be helpful if you already have an established contemplative practice (such as meditation, silent prayer, creativity, walking in nature). As a guide for our sharing, we’ll draw on Cynthia Bourgeault’s Guidelines for Conscious Aging; https://www.cynthiabourgeault.org/blog/ten-practical-guidelines-for-conscious-aging
We will meet online monthly for 8 months, with smaller circle group meetings in between, and hope to complete the year together with an in-person Wisdom School (to be confirmed at a later date).
