An opportunity for reflection, renewal & gracious harvesting
This Circle of Trust® retreat is rooted in The Soul of Aging, a small-group program based on the work of Dr. Parker Palmer and The Center for Courage & Renewal. Claiming Our Life As It Is invites anyone, regardless of age, who yearns to show up more fully to their life; to openly explore the challenges and gifts of the aging process; to surrender to, and be transformed by the aging process. We will create and hold a safe space in which we may seek a deeper understanding of how to age well, with dignity and integrity.
Session topics for this retreat:
The Retreat process invites participants to reclaim wholeness of self and clarity of vocation as we reflect on the tremendous potential of our aging.

This online Circle of Trust retreat offers:

- time to reconnect to one’s identity and integrity; identifying and honoring gifts & strengths, and acknowledging our limits.
- a process to strengthen one’s self-awareness, with the help of others
- a space to deepen our conversation with ourselves, through tangible practices and specific guidelines
- a group in which powerful inquiry about the spiritual life can happen in a safe and confidential context
