After this workshop, Dr. Safken started a Forum where participants are encouraged to share their experiences. She also regularly posts research articles on aging from a physical, psychological, intellectual, social, creative, and spiritual point of view.

Mindful Aging
Thursday, September 19, 2013, 1:00-3:30 p.m.
Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in our culture, the assumption that aging means decline and poor health is probably the deadliest. --Marilyn Ferguson
This workshop will include short presentations of the latest research on aging and its impact on the body, the intellect, and the emotions. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the aging process for themselves. Reaching 60 and retiring is a big change and the transition can even be traumatic. At this workshop, we will engage in essential inner work by using both discussion and meditative techniques that will result in growth beyond that trauma. Together we will find ways to embody the spiritual elder whose vision and purpose is to become a true wisdom keeper and spiritual leader.
