Soulful Aging: A Circle of Trust® Retreat
A special opportunity for those who want to age mindfully, seek new insights and find fresh, life-giving ways to engage with the world.
This retreat invites reflection on our inner and outer life and uses practices inspired by the work of Parker J. Palmer and developed by the Center for Courage & Renewal. Anyone of any age or spiritual path wishing to explore the meaning and experience of getting older is welcome.
Over the three days together we explore themes such as:
Generativity, legacy and harvesting our lives;
The realities and possibilities of our lives as we age;
Staying engaged with our own soul and with the world.
Participants will engage in an invitational process involving input and personal reflection as well as small and large group exploration of themes. If you have been with Mardi and Jean for an earlier retreat on this theme, you will be welcome and can expect to be introduced to some new material.
