SEASONS AND CYCLES
Changing the Aging Paradigm

Few myths and assumptions in our collective consciousness are as
ambiguous and puzzling and as the ones on aging. We spent time,
money and energy to extend our time on earth. The message: Getting
older is a good thing. And we spend equal amounts of time, money
and energy to turn back time. The message: Getting Old is not such
a good thing.
Anyone born anytime in the 20th century has been imprinted by the
message of the old paradigm. As transitionists between the old and
new; we have been challenging the old myths of every kind from the
time we were babies. We are doing it more and more with aging.
It requires moving beyond a rant about the outer messages (seeking
insight, we don’t continually criticize the blind.) It takes honesty,
humor and compassion to examine your own myths and then discard the
things you don’t really believe or choose. The reward is living your
own life, creatively, on your own terms…all of your life. That is one
of our goals of this intensive.
It is time that we no longer look wistfully at cultures who have
celebrated and honored their elders and assume our own will never
change. It is changing. We are part of that change.
*As we begin to age as soon as we are born, this intensive will
be helpful to anyone at any age.
