Stepping into Elderhood
About
Facilitator: Janet Munro. Now, perhaps more than ever, our world needs wise counsel. Traditionally, it was to the elders of a community that people would turn to as they struggled to navigate the big questions of life. These days they are more likely to turn to Google or ChatGPT and older adults are left wondering about their purpose. As women, we become more confident in our own skin but less visible to the world around us. We have lots of wisdom, but we need skills to build the platform to share it. Elderhood is not the inevitable consequence of ageing; it is a communal function for which we must plan and prepare.This retreat is a threshold moment, a time for individual and collective reflection, for story and ritual. Together we will consider the opportunities and challenges for elders in today’s world. You will uncover the unique gifts you bring to this critical life stage. You will develop a renewed vision and purpose for your own life and the communities you engage with.
