Aging and Spirituality
February 5
Older persons engage in a rich spiritual life as they integrate a lifetime of joys and tragedies. They continue to find meaning and usefulness in the face of limits and an overshadowing sense of the finite. Explore with one another how this population engages intensely with spirituality as they tell the stories of their lives. Discover the spiritual journeys taken by elders and how we can accompany one another by listening deeply.
