Spirituality and aging expert Carol Orsborn (PhD) speaks to a new generation coming into age with honesty, passion and grace. Inspired by reflections on her own life and the wisdom of elders from a wide spectrum of eras and traditions, she shows us the way to grow courageously into a new season of life, in the midst of a society that undervalues age.

Carol is the author of seven books that embrace spiritual aging as life’s culmination. Carol will lead our morning session. After lunch there will be opportunity to choose a conversation group for discussion on topics inspired by the morning presentation.

This seminar day will be of interest to those who work with older adults, and to all of us who are growing older!
