Chronogram recently featured a write up about our recent collaboration on a Conscious Eldering Through Relational Wisdom Retreat.
Wild Earth, Good Work Institute, SageArts, and Conscious Elders Network are collaborating on a three-day retreat at Lifebridge Sanctuary in Rosendale, from April 26 to 28, that will address questions concerning conscious elderhood. The program will help participants to appreciate the different stages of life, understand elders’ roles in their communities, develop mutual respect in relationships, and explore how elderhood is viewed in different cultures.
