Based on a popular book by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi entitled From Age-ing to Sage-ing, this retreat gives the participant an opportunity to look closely and with kind eyes at one’s past, to learn through one’s experience, and to move confidently toward the future, living consciously and fully.

The leaders, Marguerite Buchanan, RSM, and Suzanne Toolan, RSM led the retreat in Alaska this past summer. The retreatants moved through the process with enthusiasm and found it to be an engaging and prayerful tool to review one’s life and to plan for the future.

The retreat will include times of silence, prayer, journaling and sharing . A retreat designed for the gathering of wisdom, intentional “eldering,” through methodically recalling the significant events and people of one’s life for:

• Harvesting life’s riches: nourished by joys and finding the learnings from difficult times
• Healing wounds
• Meeting as companion one’s inner elder or wisdom person
