Description
“The first truth of aging is also the first truth of Buddhist Teaching: Everything changes.” – Lewis Richmond
In this retreat, through sharing, silence, and presentations, we will explore the idea that growing older is not just a physical or emotional process—it is also a deeply spiritual journey. A journey where we face changes and losses: of roles, abilities, and loved ones. During our time together, we will be invited to learn practices that encourage us to approach the aging journey not with fear or resistance, but with grace and acceptance. It is about learning to let go of attachments and expectations.
