SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Gift of Years
DESCRIPTION:Jan. 12\, 19\, 26 | Feb. 2\, 9\, 16\, 2026 \nThe Gift of Years is “an amazing compendium of wisdom not only for people facing aging or providing support\, but for everyone who wants to live a spiritually centered and balanced life.” Michael Lerner \nJoin us for a discussion of The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully by Joan Chittister. It is an inspirational and illuminating work that looks at the many facets of the aging process\, from purposes and challenges to struggles and surprises. It invites us to not only accept getting older but to celebrate it as a natural part of life that is both active and contemplative\, productive and reflective and deeply moving. This very process of aging affords us the opportunity to discover how we might assimilate our earlier periods of life and find ways to become more fully alive in the new.             \nPlease read the first six chapters of the book before the first session. \nFacilitator: Rosemary Insley is a retired chaplain and bereavement counselor with Master’s degrees in Pastoral Studies and Social Work. As a spiritual companion\, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats. \nZoom instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session. Please sign on by 6:20 PM the first session to resolve any technical issues.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Gift of Years
DESCRIPTION:Jan. 12\, 19\, 26 | Feb. 2\, 9\, 16\, 2026 \nThe Gift of Years is “an amazing compendium of wisdom not only for people facing aging or providing support\, but for everyone who wants to live a spiritually centered and balanced life.” Michael Lerner \nJoin us for a discussion of The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully by Joan Chittister. It is an inspirational and illuminating work that looks at the many facets of the aging process\, from purposes and challenges to struggles and surprises. It invites us to not only accept getting older but to celebrate it as a natural part of life that is both active and contemplative\, productive and reflective and deeply moving. This very process of aging affords us the opportunity to discover how we might assimilate our earlier periods of life and find ways to become more fully alive in the new.             \nPlease read the first six chapters of the book before the first session. \nFacilitator: Rosemary Insley is a retired chaplain and bereavement counselor with Master’s degrees in Pastoral Studies and Social Work. As a spiritual companion\, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats. \nZoom instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to each session. Please sign on by 6:20 PM the first session to resolve any technical issues.
