Life Planning

AGING: WE ARE NOT ALONE

In this workshop, with Catherine Durkin Robinson, we will explore the Five Remembrances, five simple yet profound truths from Buddhist tradition, as a guide for gracefully growing older. Together, we’ll look at how facing the inevitability of aging, illness and loss helps us make peace with changing bodies and uncertain futures. We do this while staying open to joy. Through conversation, reflection, and gentle practice, participants will gain tools for navigating later life with steadiness and compassion for themselves and others. This workshop is especially created for women who want to meet aging as a part of a full life.

Thursday, September 18, 1 pm to 2:30 pm. $35/$30
