Living and Aging with Resilience in Our Changing World

Good morning Emmaus!

I'm forwarding this message to you because some of our members and friends may find this interesting. Cindy and I attended some of their programs in person including a wonderful weekend at San Domiano shortly before she was called home to organize heaven.

Blessings on your day.

Living and Aging with Resilience in Our Changing World

Your facilitators will interweave the influences of Mind, Body, and Spirit on your own personal resilience in later life.

Sage-ing International believes that this series is crucial to our well-being in today's world. Thursdays in February 9th, 16th, 23rd ....9:00 am – 10:30 am PT Closed captioning is available

As we face the ever-increasing personal and societal changes and challenges that surround us, many of us feel the need to tap into a deeper level of resiliency and possibility. Studies show that when we develop and nurture strategies and practices that enhance our ability to adapt and flourish in the face of adversity, our experiences are enriched, resulting in a more meaningful and satisfying life. In this series, we will explore ways older adults can cultivate resiliency and transform life challenges into opportunities for growth.

Announcement #3: From Kay Lambert

Today is the first day of the Season of Non-Violence. I think in light of this year’s theme, the first day’s word is courage.

The Season for Nonviolence marks the 64 days between the anniversaries of the deaths of Mohandas Gandhi on January 30 and Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4. Cesar Chavez‘s birthday also falls within the Season on March 31. The Season for Nonviolence was co-founded by Arun and Sunanda Gandhi and the Leadership Council of The Association for Global New Thought (AGNT) in 1998. We learn to practice nonviolence one step at a time, one choice at a time, one day at a time. Through our daily nonviolent choices and action, our noble and courageous spirits rise to move the world in the direction of peace. Wherever you are in your journey, we hope this booklet will support your growth and encourage you, reminding you that you are part of a worldwide community working for nonviolence and peace.
