A Deeper Path: The Call of Aging

Our program host: Rev. Lois Mueller, Pastor Emeritus of Plymouth Jaxx & Justice UCC in Oakland, CA.

Format: Five weekly 90-minute online sessions

Description: Is this all there is? That’s a question so many aging adults ask when looking at their future. Rev. Lois answers emphatically, NO! The “third age” can be a sacred journey when new life can thrive. Poetry, film clips and music are used, as well as journaling and breakout groups for deeper reflection.
