Our individual counselling and discussion groups are for people interested in aging with purpose and greater awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our facilitated discussion-based events are very helpful to those on a Spiritual Eldering journey. Participants rate our discussions as particularly fruitful because they are accompanied by others who share many of the same concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhat does NEW FUTURES offer me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An opportunity to begin now to improve your experience of the days and weeks of the rest of your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Conscious aging offers a NEW FUTURE to people who know, at some level, that it\u2019s time for something more, different, and better for the rest of their life than what they have experienced to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sound too good to be true? Well, it isn\u2019t. Ask yourself: \u201cDo I really<\/em> want 2026 to be a repeat of 2025\u2026 or any other year?\u201d Alternatively, \u201cwhat stops me now from doing something I\u2019ve always wanted to do, but couldn\u2019t because\u2026? (Fill in your own long-squelched desire, and inability to pursue it.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Relatedly, ask yourself, \u201cwhat part, or parts, of my already-lived life would I like to let go of?\u201d \u2026so I can begin to do something (name it) that I really want\u2014or believe I might like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is <\/em>Conscious Aging as a Spiritual Practice (CASP)? CASP entails becoming increasingly conscious of, and paying close attention to those questions, and what they signify. Typically, they relate to hopes, dreams, aspirations, and needs that nurture us and give us life as we age. Or other notions that drain it from us. In response, CASP entails increasingly conscious motivation and commitment to do more of what nurtures and less of what drains. The more we do this as a regular practice, the better life gets for us, by our own measures of \u201cbetter.\u201d As clients increasingly experience the benefits of doing what nurtures their soul, and less of what doesn\u2019t, the easier and more natural it gets to do more. That is, the more it becomes a spiritual practice; one that nurtures their deepest selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul and Ann Marie also offer individuals and groups their expertise in:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adverse Childhood Experiences | Job Search and Career Change <\/em><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MBTI Assessments |Retirement Readiness<\/em><\/mark><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n For those who want to live and age in alignment with their purpose.<\/p>\n Learn from and share with others practices to enrich your purpose driven aging.<\/p>\n Topics include: 8 Keys to Fulfillment in Life’s 2nd Half; Midlife & Retirement Without the Crisis<\/p>\n For a FREE consultation and more information please\u00a0 contact us<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conscious Aging as a Spiritual Practice Appreciate who you are, who you’ve become, and who you are becoming.

<\/strong> The key words are conscious<\/em> and practice<\/em><\/strong>. In younger adulthood most of us unconsciously move through our workaday life taking care of everyday responsibilities that never seem to end. Raising our kids and\/or doing our job without thinking too much about how these normal activities nurture our spirit and soul. Or not! At midlife, and in retirement, this pre-programmed busyness gives way to open time; into which a variety of new questions and confusions begin to take root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u00a0<\/h6>\n
