Continuing Education for Spiritual Directors
Spiritual Direction and the Aging Process — with Macrina Scott
Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 4–6:15 p.m. (3:30–4 p.m. — check-in, fellowship and refreshments. Cost: $15 to $30, as you are able.)
Topic People
who come for spiritual guidance have received from our culture a gloomy
picture of aging. The spiritual director has the opportunity to model
and communicate a different vision. Aging is a call to adventure, a
time for new kinds of spiritual growth and roles as elder in family,
church and society. We will reflect on the vision of Rabbi Zalman
Schachter-Shalomi and share our own experiences of companioning persons
through the journey into elderhood.
Presenter Macrina Scott,
OSF, is a Franciscan sister, former director of a program of adult
biblical education for the archdiocese of Denver, author and retreat
director. She has been trained by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi's
Spiritual Eldering Institute to facilitate programs on spiritual growth
in the later years. She directs Wisdom Center, which offers a year-long
program as well as shorter events for individuals of all faith
traditions who choose to age consciously.
