Aging is the most common human experience. 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 becomes a daily mantra for some. Does this mentality serve you and enhance your being? Can you instead embrace aging to cultivate the inwardness from which your wisdom grows? What is your meaningful spiritual and life 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. Join us as we explore ways to embrace the wisdom in our life’s journey through meaningful conversation, prayer, and resources for self-reflection. Lunch is included. Guided by Sharon Scibek.
