From Age-ing to Sage-ing:
Embracing the wisdom of our personal life’s journey.
Aging is the most common human experience, but how we view the aging process has a significant impact on how we harvest the gifts given and the gifts received in our life. We are living longer these days and so often we hear the phrase, “I don’t like getting old.” This common phrase that we hear and say then becomes our daily mantra. Does this serve you and enhance your being?
Can you embrace aging to cultivate the inwardness from which your wisdom grows?
What is your meaningful spiritual legacy?
How can you use your experience and wisdom to contribute to help the world?
These are some of the questions and insights for our day of reflection. Using resources of Henri Nouwen, Harry Moody, and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Ronald Miller, the presenter will guide the retreatants in meaningful conversation, prayer, and provide resources for your self-reflection.
The retreat day includes lunch. Guided by Sharon Scibek.
