Aging is a challenging journey for most people. And now, as the baby boomers are beginning to “come of age” we are seeing just how challenging it is. Women aging but trying so to look younger and younger. Men aging but using Viagra and Cialis to try and stay “virile.” Men and women choosing much younger “trophy spouses” in order to appear younger themselves. Having plastic surgeries to erase the signs of aging. People lying about their ages. People buying endless, expensive products to do away with wrinkles and grey hair in an effort to appear more “youthful.” Many feeling "it's too late to . . ." do something or finish something they've always felt called to do. People, young and old, buying into ageist stereotypes: “old people drive slow, walk slow, are slow;” “old people eat tapioca, sleep a lot, are technologically backwards, and are closed minded about anything new;” “old people can’t hear, see, think.”
Many of my clients work with me about what aging brings up in them. Each one finds there are numerous roots . . . some individual and some cultural. But the central root for each of us is deeply related to the primal experiences we had early on in our lives.
Where does your fear of aging come from? How can we explore and heal our fear of “growing old” and in doing so, help to heal that fear not only in ourselves but also in our world?
In this ground-breaking workshop, participants will begin to explore their own fears about aging and contribute to healing our “aging issues,” both individually and on a global scale. The workshop will be mostly experiential and part conceptual. As time allows, participants who volunteer will have the opportunity to actively explore the roots of their own fears of aging in a piece of work with Judith, or to explore through witnessing others, sharing, and working within.
