Sr Una has chosen the title: ‘The Spiritual Challenges of the second half of life: The complex Task of Growing up!’ and comments:
‘The spiritual well-being of the second half of life (from 40 onwards), is a potential that needs to be explored even as it is happening within us and among us. While mid-life is a pivotal milestone in our development, later life makes us more keenly aware of the transition from active living to active being. In all cases we cross the threshold into deeper soul time with an opportunity to reset our lifegoals. There is a popular saying that states: ‘Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.’ To grow up, new levels of consciousness are required and a new depth of spirituality for older and younger alike. The soul’s song continues to reverberate and gain momentum as we move through the stages of life. Ultimately, we take hold of the opportunities and challenges that each stage of life has to offer.
This day of reflection and sharing is an opportunity to explore together, in a morning and afternoon session the rich seasons of grace that we call growing in wisdom age and grace. “
