Those of us in our fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond can count ourselves as part of an extraordinary, history-making generation—pioneers in understanding and making the most of this “third chapter” of life. These years of aging are full of opportunities for learning, growth and finding new meaning in life. The Wise Aging program provides resources and support to live the later years with spirit, resilience, and wisdom.

We will explore some of the deeper questions presented by this stage of our lives.  Participants are guided through reflective work using texts from the Chumash, Talmud, Hassidic stories as well as contemporary writings and practices by Abraham Joshua Herschel, Erik Erikson, Albert Einstein, Sylvia Boorstein, May Sarton and many others.  In addition, we will be using stories, questions, scientific research and our personal reflections that enable us to come to new understandings.
