Spirituality and aging expert Carol Orsborn (PhD) speaks to a new generation coming into age with honesty, passion and grace. Inspired by reflections on her own life and the wisdom of elders from a wide spectrum of eras and traditions, she shows us the way to grow courageously into a new season of life, in the midst of a society that undervalues age.
Carol is the author of seven books that embrace spiritual aging as life’s culmination.
This seminar day will be of interest to those who work with older adults, and to all of us who are growing older.
