Wise Aging 3: Getting Good at Getting Older
In this introductory course in the Wise Aging Series, we will explore the later stage of life through topics that will include reflecting on our life stories, relating compassionately to our changing bodies, cultivating spiritual qualities that can sustain and uplift us, building nourishing relationships, and living with loss while finding light and purpose. We will draw on text study, discussion, meditation, journaling and other practices to help us live more mindfully, authentically, and joyfully. This course in the Wise Aging series continues to expand our consciousness about aging. Rejecting the declinist view of aging in favor of a positive mindset of creativity, renewal and joy, we continue to explore the tools and techniques that are key to aging wisely, and to reframe our vision so as to see ourselves on the path to becoming wise elders. We will explore how to put what we've learned about wise aging more fully into practice, through topics that will include The Wisdom of Rituals; Impermsnence; cultivating Spiritual Qualities; Getting Ready to Let Go; and Moving Forward With Joy. This course is free and without charge except or the cost of the textbook.
