In the last 10-15 years, many amazing books have been written about living in this brand-new life stage we call elderhood. In February 2025, Karen West began facilitating the ongoing “Sage-ing the Second Half of Life - Book Discussion Group” with the purpose of reading some of these books in community. Now Karen hopes to add new members....hopefully you will be one of them!
In this interactive four-week workshop, we’ll compassionately reflect on our relationships with our physical selves. To deepen our exploration, sessions will include poetry, meditation, journaling, breakout room sharing and larger group discussion. Each session builds upon the one before.
As we navigate the transitions in life— losses, surprises, slowing down and opening up—how do we continue to maintain a sense of meaning, purpose, and spiritual vitality? This workshop explores how the practice of living gratefully can be essential to aging.
So much around us seems to be shifting as our world feels uncertain, divided, and aching for healing. The challenges we face are the very conditions that call our hearts, minds, and spirits forth to respond with our best selves. This is our opportunity to bring clarity where there is confusion, courage where there is fear, and hope where there is despair.
This three-session course, builds upon the work of Joanna Macy, as we acknowledge that we are facing the Great Unraveling, that we can meet as we focus on resilience and an expansive sense of community to navigate these difficult times. Using reflection, interactive practices, and discussions we’ll discover new allies, explore the gifts of uncertainty, and other practices that can move us from despair and overwhelm into a path of sustainable action for the healing of our world.
Forgiveness is often seen as a transaction between two people; a generous act of mercy by the offended toward the offender. But forgiveness is just as much about our own unburdening as we work to uncouple ourselves from the hurts and perceived injustices of the past.
In addition to discussing the psychological and emotional challenges of this unique life transition, this course will explore new sources of meaning in retirement. While retirement involves aging and uncertainty, it also brings greater freedom and the opportunity to adapt to new roles and challenges.
This reflective, interactive workshop invites participants to explore optimism as a conscious, discerning practice within the Sage-ing journey.
This wokshop offers a contemporary experience with Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) for poetry lovers interested in finding new ways to deepen their journey through poetry for themselves or their group practice.
Whether you do your eldering work alone or in socialized settings at workshops and meditation retreats, or through solo meditation and journal writing, remember that the work of integrating body, mind, and soul requires time and commitment…you can begin shaping your life into a noble masterpiece.”
