Overview
To live in this world, you must be able to do three
things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your
bones knowing your own life depends on it; and,
when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
- Mary Oliver
As a society, we have not been taught the art of loving our mortal lives every step of the way… in fact, we have largely lost the art of living. Thankfully, the wisdom of the elders is in our midst. Join Fr. Ron Rolheiser, Edwina Gateley and Fr. Richard Rohr, who will help us to clarify and embrace the two halves of life.
Consisting of plenary sessions, small group discussion, and sacred ritual to integrate the wisdom we already know but have forgotten, this conference will be especially helpful for parents, spiritual directors, educators and any one, of any age, on a spiritual path. We will:
- Clarify the tasks and the pitfalls of the first half of life
- Identify the crossover points between the first half and second half of life
- Discuss what we mean by "the further journey" of the second half of life
Called to a further journey, we will look within ourselves to see that the wisdom of the elders is not only in our midst, but is within each of us.
