Winter 2025 Authentic Aging

Service Description

We live longer, healthier lives. Often, we try to replicate our younger years to avoid ageism, that diminishes us. But midlife and beyond are times to reinvent ourselves and to touch our creativity, contribution, and joy by aging authentically. The core of authentic aging is facing and using tensions such as Holding on AND Letting Go, Acceptance of Aging AND New Adventures, Loss AND Gratitude, Independence AND Dependence, Practical AND Wise. Much is being written about aging now. Authentic Aging provides the tools for you to: • examine your beliefs about aging, • understand the tasks of each life stage, • honor your past: keep the best and dump the rest, • make peace with yourself in mind and body, • update your life mission, • identify and leverage the dilemmas that can lift you up rather than tear you apart, • chart a path for forward, • celebrate your authentic self.
