Course Description:
Together on Zoom, we will look at aging as a quest, an inner journey. A time to tidy things up. Like everything else worth doing, aging well takes practice. It requires us to claim all the events of our lives, embracing the whole of who we are.
If our lives are to be meaningful, we must do more than just keep our bodies and minds functioning. We must also address our psychological and spiritual needs.
There are many paths to approaching the subject of wisdom and aging. As a storyteller, Juanita finds myths, folktales, and stories to be a particularly helpful way to nourish and provide insight.
Each week, one or two stories will be shared to encourage participants to search inwardly and reflect on how the story speaks to them. Listening to a story and reflecting on its value for our own life can be a nourishing experience.
How we experience aging is deeply personal. Coming together to share stories and talk about our fears and hopes involves taking a risk. It can be liberating to do so.
Together we will travel beyond surface questions about aging to look at deeper, more important questions of psychological and spiritual well-being.
