David Chernikoff – Ageing and Awakening: A Buddhist Perspective on Growing Older


What does it mean to age consciously?

 

We are living in a time when wise elders are of critical importance. While the ageing process involves losses and challenges, these can become a pathway to profound spiritual realization. Buddhist teachings offer us practical and liberating guidelines that enable us to free ourselves from the negative attitudes of modern Western culture and to reframe the changes inherent in growing older as a curriculum leading to true spiritual maturity.

This webinar will encourage genuine discovery and exploration. It will be an opportunity to know ourselves in new ways that invite us to live fully, love well, and die joyfully.
