At the age of 85 Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, author of the breakthrough book From Ageing to Sage-ing, invited journalist Sara Davidson to have a series of talks about what it’s like “when you’re in the December of your years and you know you’re coming to the end of your tour of duty. What is the spiritual work of this time, and how do you prepare for the mystery?”
Join us on a small group journey of exploration of what living these years means to us – to you! Whether you follow a spiritual path–or none–we will engage in a series of discussions that will include readings, reflections, personal sharing, contemplative exercises – hopefully accompanied by our stories, laughter and continued growth. Topics may include life review, gratitude, forgiveness, mortality, finding peace and wholeness, and leaving a legacy.
Together we can be provoked by readings from books such as The December Project, by Sara Davidson and Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old?: The Path of Purposeful Aging by Richard J. Leider and David Shapiro.
