Living longer brings its own challenges for each of us, including the ongoing issue of finding meaning and purpose. What are some spiritual visions that can help us navigate elderhood? As we grow older, how can we live feeling vibrant, more whole and affirmed, especially in a culture that values individualism and youth? How is our spirituality practice impacted by the COVID-19 virus?
Join us as we share and reflect on these questions and more.
