CCA October Lunch and Learn | Conscious Eldering: The Difference Between Growing Whole and Growing Old (Online)

Discover how a commitment to embrace our elderhood can lead to lives of fulfillment, purpose, and service. How can we commit to thriving as we age? Join Ron Pevny – Founding Director of the Center for Conscious Eldering – for this introduction to “Conscious Eldering,” and discover how a commitment to embrace our elderhood can lead to lives of fulfillment, purpose, and service. The “Positive Aging Movement” is empowering older adults to challenge and move beyond the ageist stereotypes that so strongly color modern society’s view of aging. “Conscious Eldering” acknowledges the many opportunities provided by this movement, but goes an important step further to focus on our emotional and spiritual growth as we age. “Conscious Eldering” involves examining the power of our beliefs in shaping our experiences as we age, and encourages a review of our lives to help us learn from our past and prepare for our future. By finding where we feel most purposeful, setting the right intentions, and tapping into the vital role of community in supporting our physical, emotional, and spiritual well being, we can deepen our spirituality and uncover the resilience that characterizes a “conscious elder.”
