Designed for individuals age 55 and over, this retreat is about the possibility of awakening to the truth of life as we age. Aging, as well as illness, disability, or loss, has the potential to turn us away from our outer preoccupations and return us to our inner life and our inner purpose, which is to realize the potential of human consciousness – the flowering of wisdom and compassion.

There are many challenges in aging – physical, emotional, and mental – which we may resist mightily. What we may not yet have realized are the hidden gifts to be found in those same challenges. Being with others who, like us, are working with the issues of aging can lead us to a special kind of consciousness raising.

Through practicing together – with dharma teachings and interactive exercises – the gifts will reveal themselves and we will gain greater clarity of meaning and purpose for our own precious human life.
