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 3: Winterlight
In this gentle and reflective session, we will be exploring winter as the season of the elder, wisdom of the elder traditions, the beauty and wisdom of the ‘wise child,’ embracing our authenticity and the freedom of ‘unfolding’ and ‘becoming.’ We will also be exploring, ‘Warming Your Soul in a Cold World’ and discovering the concept of ‘Candlelighting’.
This session will include poetry, selected readings, wisdom sayings, music, a reflective exercise, and will conclude with a short meditation.
