A Day of Reflection for Adults
November 25, 2024
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Program Cost: $75.00 (includes Lunch)
Inner reflection and setting intentions can shift and reframe how we actually age! Crossing the threshold from role to soul is not for the faint of heart! Scripture, science, nature all convey that. Shifting from role to soul often impacts our sense of identity, body image, approach to learning new things, disposition for change, images of the divine, etc. This retreat day will offer resources, reflection and discernment as well as a variety of spiritual practices that may assist in fully claiming and embodying your intention to choose to age consciously. Amid this time of momentous cultural transformation, shifting from role to soul is critical to personal and global wellbeing. Join this community of 'elders' to lift intention and surface passion, wisdom and service for life.
