The Wise Wo/man Years: Finding Joy and Fulfillment as We Grow Older

Instructor
Minx Boren
WS442

Course Description

As we approach, enter, and exist in our wisewo/man years, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to be open to change rather than resist it. By choosing to be carried by life's flow, we invite unexpected pleasures and new discoveries into our lives. When we are welcoming and responsive to whatever is happening in the moment, we fully appreciate where we are now and everything that lies ahead. In this four-part series, Coach Minx encourages participants of a certain age and stage of life to reap the richness of what they have planted and tended these many years. Her musings about growing pains and perks are meant to inspire you to embrace both your successes and less-than-successes and recognize and celebrate the magic in the unknown. Her optimistic yet grounded perspective will remind you that, no matter where you are on your "growing older" journey, joy and fulfillment can be found in all that life still has in store for you. Space is limited.
