Start your CBWC Assembly experience with a day of learning, dialogue and sharing of insights and resources through a discussion on Reframing Retirement and the Spiritual Journey. Various experts in aging and transitions will lead us to focus on:
-
Perspective
Seeing the middle and later years of life as a process of maturing that provides new opportunities for discovering how to live more fully.
-
Hope
Recognizing that faith enables us to see an ultimate future that builds on the past and informs our desire for living meaningfully in the present.
-
Guidance
Listening to discover a refined sense of life purpose and renewed vocation and an awareness of the importance of self care and service for and alongside others in community.
-
Spiritual Growth
Appreciating that the process of aging is part of our spiritual journey in which we can change and be more thoughtful and intentional in our maturing — to become whole persons, growing in our connections with God, with others, and with all of Creation.
