This international conference is about aging, religion, and spirituality. It attracts expert researchers and scholars, as well as experts-by-experience such as seniors, practitioners, policy-makers, faith communities, and care partners. All are welcome to come together for stimulating discussions, learning opportunities, and meaningful connections with others who care about the role of spirituality in aging persons’ lives.
This year's conference will be held at Conrad Grebel University College, in Waterloo, Ontario.
Conference theme
Challenges and Choices: Spirituality and dignity in later life, is an invitation to explore various issues within the scope of ageing and spirituality. We will focus on the contexts in which we find ourselves, generational perceptions of the reality of ageing, and where and how we find dignity in later life, dying, and death. Diversity, the role of the arts, and the potential of technology will also flavour our discussions.
