“Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.” Eleanor Roosevelt
We stand at a time when the world is in need of wisdom, especially the wisdom of the Elders. Growing Older, Growing Wiser: Becoming an Elderwoman is a seven-part event designed to lead us thoughtfully, consciously, and joyfully into our Third Age. We will look deeply at our lives so far; discover (and re-discover) those things that are life- and energy-giving for us; separate the grain from the chaff; and step forward into our role as Elderwomen, which will be unique to each of us.
Join us for this important and life-affirming journey. For women, age 55 and older, meeting in Columbia County, NY. Second Tuesday of each month, September 14, 2010 through March 8, 2011.
The suggested donation is based on a sliding scale: $35 – $70 for the entire series of seven meetings.
This Elderwoman group will be kept intentionally small. Register now to reserve your spot. For a registration form, write to info (at) sanctuarywithoutwalls (dot) org. The brochure is also included below as a pdf.

“I like the metaphor of the thousand-mile river. It passes through time zones and climate changes occur along its path. Responding to the changing climate, the trees, shrubbery and vegetation along the riverbank change also. But it is the same water responsible for nourishing every bit of growth. There are spiritual waters, call it the River of Reverence, that nourishes all of us who grope for understanding on a journey that will last all our lives and beyond.” Norman Lear
