with Carol Fox
Once upon a time, a young maiden wandered in the forest and the next thing she knew was she came out the other side. She noticed a few things. She knew the forest. She spent many years there. She was used to the bolts of lightning, she was used to the dark, she knew how to navigate the unknown, she taught many how to traverse the unknown territory. When she came out of the forest, she wondered "What Comes Next".
If you identify with any part of this this story, you are eligible to join the Elders' Circle. You will know you are in the right place if you have grandchildren, have finished a big something, are restless, have outgrown your skin, are busy care-taking a loved one, have adult children, identify with the kindly/fierce older women in your life, and would rather swim in the depth of the ocean rather than play on the beach. If you do these things, you are an Elder. Elders need each other just as much as children need friends.
Join me as we traverse the phases and stages gone by and discover "What Comes Next". What is the purpose of the "Age of the Mist Beings"? What!? Another forest to traverse? La Selva Subterranea? Yes, another forest, a delicious forest.
At the end of this four week dive, those who wish to participate in a very beautiful ceremony, marking this Elder stage of life, will be offered an Initiation into Elderhood. This is a ceremony to mark this important transition. The ceremony makes this age and stage important. Our five weeks together provides the grist of this initiation.
The Elders will meet on Zoom
Thursdays at 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
October 29th - November19th
As always, The Elders will be lead to discover self through writing, discussing, revealing, praying, planning, and listening. These are the tools of Elderhood. It is a very rich time in this cycle of life. Initiation will be offered to those who wish to go through the ceremony.
To sign up:
If you wish to participate in this group, please send me your email and I will send you my venmo account number for payment. The group will be limited to twelve members.
$75 for 4 Elder Circle Sessions
