1. The Majesty of Your Loving
Reflections on Mental Diminishment In the presence of loss—which includes emotional and spiritual issues—we need inspiring perspectives to deal with an ever-changing reality. Olivia shares reflections on Alzheimer’s and invites group exploration of our common challenges.

2. Heart Instructions on Living and Dying
Based on a classical Buddhist text, these teachings reorient us to the essential qualities and aspirations that can inspire both how we live and how we die.

3. Aging: the Gifts of Adversity
To age consciously, to develop inner strength, to find gifts amidst adversity, and finally to address the great issue of death – these are our challenges as elders. Along with inspiration for the later years, we’ll explore how the practice of mindfulness teaches us to greet whatever life brings with equanimity, insight, and an open heart.

4. Telling Our Stories: Spirituality and Life Review
Through a process of story telling and reflection, we begin to treasure our life’s experiences and embrace the spiritual dimensions of aging. In preparation for this workshop, participants are invited to create a timeline of their spiritual journey or write a short spiritual autobiography.

5. Meditation and the Healing Mind
This workshop focuses on the practice of mindfulness and how cultivating moment-to-moment awareness is at the heart of the healing process.
