About this event

NEST is pleased to offer a Contemplative Aging Book Club that will meet for four sessions over two months. Together, we’ll explore the shifts in identity that often accompany the aging process. Using the book “From Age-ing to Sage-ing” from Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi as our foundation, we’ll engage in open, reflective discussions on topics such as intergenerational relationships, transitioning into retirement, stepping into elderhood, and uncovering a renewed sense of purpose.

This will be primarily a discussion-based group, guided by prompts from the book, and will incorporate mindfulness and gentle somatic practices to support deeper reflection and connection.

Facilitated by Jonathan Weiner, MSW student intern.
