Based on the national program developed by the Institute of Jewish Spirituality, Wise Aging offers a guided path, designed to help those 50 and over who want to discover new resources to enhance their later years with learning, growth, spirit, resilience and wisdom.

The Wise Aging group will meet for four Zoom sessions and will have a maximum of 8 participants. In this time of Covid19, when interactions with those we are close to are limited, Wise Aging offers a chance to meet new people in a meaningful setting. The curriculum includes text study, contemplative and active listening, self reflection and meditation. Journaling is encouraged.

The sessions include rich conversations, with much laughter and helpful insights. Past participants have  called the experience transformative as the fear of aging turns into an embrace of possibilities for the years ahead.

Students are asked to  purchase a copy of Wise Aging, by Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal.

Suggested donation for the series is $75-$100.  Limited scholarships are available. Classes are taught by Dinah  Gilburd and Barb Schwartz.

Sponsor: Jewish Family and Child Service with the support of the Holzman Foundation
