Conscious Aging

Explore Ways to Expand Your Perspective on Aging

Conscious Aging is a live, online, experiential workshop for older people seeking guidance, meaning, and connection. You will meet once-a-week for six weeks with IONS-certified facilitators and other like-minded adults to:

• Discover what gives heart and meaning to your life, and how you can enrich the years ahead
• Develop the skills of self-compassion to cope more effectively with change and other stressors
• Reveal connection and reduce isolation by recognizing our shared community in the aging process
• Examine how to move from fear and denial of our inevitable losses and death toward embracing a new vision of aging
• Cultivate a personal road map for your ongoing journey
• And more!

The Power of the In-Person Experience — Available Online!

Using modern technology to create a safe and accessible space along with a supportive community online, you can experience this powerful workshop from the comfort of your own home. The workshop is an interplay of activities based on four guiding principles:

1. Listening to our own inner wisdom and guidance
2. Integrating inspirational ideas and best practices
3. Sharing in intimate conversation circles
4. Harvesting the collective wisdom of the group

A Safe Space in which to Explore the Meaning in Our Lives

To support a receptive space of deep listening and speaking from the heart, we ask that workshop attendees commit to:

• Attend all six live, interactive sessions (attendance at session #1 is strongly encouraged of all participants)
• Utilize your webcam and device audio to facilitate discussion

Participation is a key to this immersive experience, and we all share responsibility in co-creating our group. We encourage all who attend to come with an open heart, an inquiring mind, and a willingness to explore!

Please note, this is a LIVE workshop. To assist in creating a safe space in which we can speak deeply and honestly these sessions will not be recorded.

Attend the six workshop sessions from anywhere in the world — here’s how:

• We’ll be using Zoom video conferencing for all six sessions
• Use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to access the Zoom session online
• You’ll need internet access with broadband wired or 3G or 4G/LTE wireless
• Make sure to enable the microphone, speaker, and video camera on your device

We highly recommend testing Zoom well before the first session. Find out how here.
