“Within the world’s Wisdom teachings, ‘conscious aging’ is not simply a polite euphemism but an active pathway of spiritual metamorphosis: in a sense, the capstone project of an entire life’s journey.” – Cynthia Bourgeault
What do we mean by the phrase ‘to age consciously’? How is Wisdom teaching and practice preparing and offering assistance to us as we age? What is it like to enter into this new territory; to ever so slowly begin to recognize the gentle descent of the mantle of Wisdom Eldership?
Join us for a 3-part Conscious Aging Wisdom Circle as we work in an intimate gathering with these questions. We will open the circle with a centering practice in preparation before diving into what arises as we begin the tending required for our journey with conscious aging and elderhood. There will be time for silence, listening, reflecting, and processing. The Wisdom Circle will be facilitated by Wisdom Waypoints Board Member Emeritus Laura Ruth.
Our work will be anchored in Cynthia’s teachings on conscious aging and becoming an elder with anticipation for her upcoming book, “Conscious Aging: Ten Spiritual Guidelines for Growing Old,” set to be released in March 2027.
