Elderflowering… a series of interactive, creative workshops for Seniors

The inner graces of ageing are: wisdom, authenticity, spiritual beauty, unfolding, discernment and inner reflection – this is ‘Elderflowering’.

In this series of four interactive and creative workshops, we will be exploring conscious eldering, the inner face of ageing with a focus on the spirituality of our Autumn and Winter seasons, the songlines and storylines of our life, thresholds, the place of memory and discovering ourselves, through the gift of poetry and metaphor as a holy language.

Session 2: Autumn, the Autumn Sun

In this session, we will be exploring: Autumn as the season of the ‘Young Elder,’ the rich tapestry of autumn as our harvest season, the Parable of the Sower, autumn as a time of releasing and re-evaluating and we will be considering the life lessons that Autumn brings.

We will also be reflecting on the thresholds of our inner journey and the Celtic concept of Trasna as ‘The Crossing Place’. This session will include poetry, selected readings, wisdom sayings, music, a reflective exercise and will conclude with a short meditation.
