Session Description:
One's sixth decade, or 50s, can be an important time of tremendous change and loss, but also opportunity! As in our teens and 20s, we have time to take stock, set goals, and go after our dreams. However, this time around we've got the advantages of wisdom and experience to apply, we are better resourced, and we know time is precious! Through sharing her own story of moving from evading exercise to teaching yoga, fearing risk to seeking mountain adventures, and grieving losses to finding her way back into love, fun, and purpose, Cynthia wants to inspire you to look at the later stages of life in a new and hopeful way.
