Our later years challenge us to learn the art of slowing down, letting go and facing our own mortality, but they also surprise us with joy as our perspective changes. We glimpse more clearly the possibilities that the longer view reveals. We discover unexpected gifts that winter brings. Just as we feel we are winding down, we find ourselves called to wake up and embrace the most fulfilling challenge of all – to mature inwardly into our wisdom years. Join us to explore and celebrate the promise at the heart of your own wisdom years.
We will gather twice daily, once in the morning (US Central) and again in the afternoon, to further explore and share. Each session will offer a presentation and a brief reflection break followed by an opportunity to share our thoughts and responses.
Hybrid. Facilitator is on Zoom. Participants have Overnight, Commuter and Zoom options.
Registrants will receive Zoom sign-in information via email

Facilitator: Margaret Silf
Margaret Silf is passionate about making Christian spirituality accessible to people with no theological background. She is the author of a number of books for 21st century pilgrims who may or may not identify with institutional religion. She is especially interested in the power of story and the way stories shape our lives and attitudes, and in the universe story and our place in it and its challenge to us to evolve spiritually to a higher plane of what it means to be human.
Margaret lives in Scotland and has one adult daughter and two young grand-daughters. She holds a BA degree in English from London University and a Masters degree from Keele University. Formerly employed as a technical author in the IT industry, she left paid employment in 2000 to devote her time to writing and accompanying others on their spiritual journey, through retreats, workshops and days of reflection.
