Personal Growth   

Life changes, and sometimes our homes need to change right along with us. This course is a warm, practical look at downsizing, moving to a senior living community, or choosing to age in place, without making any of it feel quite so overwhelming. We’ll talk about how to know when it may be time for a change, what to consider when selling a longtime home, how to explore senior living options, and how to prepare for the years ahead. We’ll also hear from trusted professionals, which may include: a real estate agent, appraiser, inspector, downsizing specialist, auctioneer, assisted living locator, estate attorney, and financial professional, all here to help make the next chapter feel a little clearer and a lot more manageable.

To be human is to live life in earthly flesh; the literal, material substance of our self-knowing and being known, and, as fragile and finite, subject to the frailties of accident, relational instability, illness, and death. Thus, to be human is to know the reality of grief. Together, we will seek to discern pathways forward through the veil of grief by understanding this essential, inescapable element of life, developing coping and support strategies, including honoring our losses, and identifying when specialized aid is needed. We will be using C.S. Lewis' book, "A Grief Observed" as a reflection resource.

January is the time of deep darkness, long nights and colder weather. Throughout our northern hemisphere, for millennia this is a time of festivals of lights. Rituals that call light into the darkness to provide safety, hope and renewal. In modern times, this is more symbolic than necessary, but it is still powerful spiritually. In this class, we will examine ancient practices and myths of light and winter. Then we will explore how these are translated into modern traditions and habits. We will look at our personal responses to the season of darkness and the power of light.
