Elders’ Inquiry and Reflection Group Forming in Berkeley

A group for Ridhwan students aged 60 and older is forming now in Berkeley. We will be meeting to inquire and reflect on our experiences related to aging. There are so many stories and assumptions about what it means to grow old, so many unexamined fears and beliefs. We’ll look at those, of course. But also we want to explore the ripening into maturity that comes with age, the poignancy that accompanies endings, how our sense of time changes, what relationships become, what kind of wisdom becomes available and the mystery and subtlety of development during this time in our lives.

Our intention is to raise questions and issues, provide opportunities to inquire into them in dyads and triads, and explore these questions further in a small group. We will be working with the group dialectic as well as with individual inquiry.
