In his ground-breaking book From Age-ing to Sage-ing Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi tells us we can “…awaken the elder state of consciousness, with its promise of expanded mental potentials, spiritual renewal, and greater social usefulness.”
One of the pathways to that awakening is regular time and space for quiet contemplation.
These moments, set aside from the tasks of daily living, allow us to explore our inner being with gentle compassion and caring. The reading of inspiring texts is often recommended as a way to remember who we truly are and what is actually important.
In her book Ageing with Awareness: 52 Contemplations for a Year of Weekly Inspiration (to be published March 2023), Felice Rhiannon, CSL, provides us with short contemplations to focus our minds and hearts on our growing wisdom. She also encourages our ability to expand into our authentic selves and to challenge the current, diminishing paradigm of ageing. Some of the readings are poetic, others are calls to action; some are reminders to awaken, and others are reminders of our mortality. All of the contemplations are an encouragement to grow into our elder selves.
Please join Felice and like-hearted elders-in-the-making to explore some of these contemplations. For three weeks we will gather together to reflect in silence on a reading or two and then to share our responses and feelings. We will have the opportunity to deepen into ourselves, held in the container of a community of people sharing the path of inner and outer flourishing.
These topics are not specific to any spiritual or faith path and serve to enhance spiritual maturity in any practice. All are warmly welcome.
