Bet Alef Meditative Synagogue presents:
From Age-ing to Sage-ing, Entering Into Spiritual Conversation
The beauty of our life path is that, at every stage and with every age, there is an opportunity for personal growth. Our transition from adulthood to elderhood is such an opportunity. With the aging of our physical being comes a need for an evolving spiritual consciousness in support of maintaining vitality and continued contribution to family, friends and community. This is what Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi calls "Spiritual Eldering."
Join a conversation on the topic of aging and Spiritual Eldering which will follow the outline of Reb Zalman and Ronald Miller's book, From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Profound New Vision of Growing Older. Program cost: $120 members; $160 non-members. Participants will need to purchase the book before the class starts. Register here. For more info, email Rabbi Olivier.
Objectives:
- To be able to discover the tools needed to "harvest life" more fully through personal transformation.
- To find avenues to make contributions to family, community, and society by providing wisdom through mentoring and by healing those around us.
- To strengthen our community by growing individually and together.
