Spirituality for the Second Half of Life.
The great
task of the second half of life is to live from a deeper love. After years of
setting goals, raising families and lending support to many endeavors, life
presents the question, “Do I yet know how to love?” Paula will reflect on what
changes when we live a life guided principally by Spirit.
Saturday, April 10: 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Waking Up to This Day
This is a
call to be present to each moment. Paula will explore the belief that as we
awaken to our deepest self, we stop relating to life and to others primarily
thorough expectation or through mind activity. She will present some of the
simple keys that help us see life, in all its seasons, as a great gift. What
are the changes that help us experience a deeper intimacy with ourselves and
with others? How are things different when we accept the simple power of life
unfolding?
