  • Awakening the Sage Within – Online

  • Sage-ing Second Half of Life Book Discussion Series

    Sage-ing Second Half of Life Book Discussion Series

    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!

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.”
