About the Spirituality of Aging
For the first time in history, we are living long enough to explore the rugged geography of aging. It involves both the wisdom of surrender, and garnering energies for what truly matters, while savoring the sweetness of life. The wide open beauty of the desert landscape at Ghost Ranch invites us to this soul-work in a special way. Walking the sacred ground revered by First Americans and contemporary artists like Georgia O'Keefe, we will explore the new topography in this “second half of life.”
•Walk the ancient terrain of Ghost Ranch with heightened awareness of the landscape as teacher.
•Be enlivened by beauty, community, silence and stories, poetry and creativity.
•Mark the passage from reflection to action
•Join other pilgrims in daily creation and reflection
Leadership
Marjory Zoet Bankson is a published author, working artist, and seasoned spiritual guide. Her books, including Call to the Soul and Creative Aging, present a spiral template for discerning call at every stage of life. At 76, Marjory co-leads an annual working pilgrimage to Guatemala highlands to build schools, helping people listen for God’s call in their lives.
