Choosing Conscious Elderhood
Sunday, September 26 – Saturday, October 2

As you look toward your future in a rapidly changing world, does the idea of spending a week envisioning purpose, passion and growth in your later life chapters stir something in you? And sitting in circle with a community of kindred spirits as we share wisdom, life experiences, aspirations, challenges and mutual support. Add to this the prospect of doing this exploration amid the magnificent natural beauty and powerful spiritual energy of Ghost Ranch. If so, we invite you to join us for “Choosing Conscious Elderhood” this autumn.

Participant evaluations of our 17 previous retreats at Ghost Ranch gave consistently been filled with appreciation for the luxury of unhurried time, strong community, skilled guidance and natural beauty to help envision what it can be like to grow elder rather than just older. This retreat, for people 50 and up, is an opportunity to learn and experience powerful practices that support your journey toward a conscious elderhood.

The elder third of life, with its own dynamic of losses and gains, can be the pinnacle of our personal development and an opportunity for invaluable service to the larger community. The key is to know the difference between becoming old and aging with intent – aging consciously.

In this retreat, we will experientially explore a rich variety of inner work that can help us reach our potential as elders. As you move through this process, you will engage in sharing circles; life review work; exploration of legacy; vision clarification and intention setting; ceremony; and a day of solitude on the land. The retreat provides powerful support for those ready to claim the role of elder or to affirm their commitment to aging consciously

Ron Pevny, Larry Gray and Barbara Roth will guide this annual autumn Choosing Conscious Elderhood retreat. Ron is Director of the Center for Conscious Eldering, a long-time rite of passage guide, a Certified Sage-ing Leader, and author of the book “Conscious Living, Conscious Aging” published by Beyond Words/Atria Books. Larry is highly regarded for his teaching of conscious eldering in Canada. Barbara is a talented teacher whose deep commitment to her growth as an elder is reflected in her inspiring writing and workshops.
