Who is Encore for?

Open to all, a range of people around the world, in different contexts and countries, come along to listen and share practical elements of spirituality, ageing, and spiritual and pastoral care, supporting each other in this important work. 

How did the Encore series begin?

The International Conference on Ageing and Spirituality (ICAS) has a 20+ year history of bringing together people from around the world who are interested in, working in, or researching in the field of ageing and spirituality.

After the ICAS conference held in Canada in June 2023, the original Encore webinar series was created as an online community where we can continue to connect, share our work, and be inspired by what we learn from each other’s research and practice.

A webpage now houses all of the recorded content from ICAS#9 and #10 as well as the first two seasons of Encore webinars. It is becoming a highly valued treasure trove of resources!
