Mindfulness and Aging: Claiming our Eldership & Wisdom

September 11, 2016 @ 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Half-day retreat for self-identified women and gender-fluid people

with Noliwe Alexander and Arinna Weisman

How do we open to aging; the loss of physical resilience, perhaps increasing illness, the decline of our mental faculties and memory? The Buddha offers us a path of mindfulness and loving kindness that challenges the habitual ways we have ‘owned’ or ‘identified’ with our bodies and minds, and that allows us to join the natural processes of nature and our planet earth.

Join us as we claim our eldership and wisdom, which have come with our years lived, and the blessings these bring.
