Introduction to Wise Aging

Back by popular demand!

In this introductory course in the Wise Aging Series, we explore the key background concepts that will enable us to profoundly change how we view the later stage of life. Instead of seeing aging only as a time of inevitable decline and loss, we choose instead to view this stage of life as a time of opportunity, spiritual growth and deep meaning. We engage in the powerful practices of mindfulness and life review, as well as the cultivation of spiritual qualities, in order to transform our lives into the rich journey towards becoming Wise Elders. We draw on text study, discussion, meditation, journaling and other practices that help us on our way to finding our most authentic, joyful and mindful selves.

The textbook recommended for this class is “Wise Aging: Living With Joy, Resilience and Spirit” by Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal. This course (or its equivalent) is the required prerequisite for taking any other Wise Aging course in the series. Those who register for the class but don’t attend the first session may be dropped from the class.
