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.

Final Session: Winter, the Season of Grace

In this final session, we will be exploring: the art of sageing, the ‘grace of holy listening,’ the place of memory, ‘Arrivals, Departures and Gratefulness,’ releasing and integration, the tradition of Salt Woman and The Gift of Tears. We will also be exploring the concept of poetry and metaphor as holy language.

This session will include poetry, selected readings, wisdom sayings, music, a reflective exercise and will conclude with a summary of our journey in ‘Elderflowering’ and a meditation.
