The Crown of Age-Gifts and Challenges
MAC-ASGPP Meeting – October 1, 2011
A Workshop with Linda Ciotola, M.Ed., CETIII, TEP
And honoring MAC-ASGPP’s gratitude award recipient for 2011, Merry Macke
This experiential workshop will explore in action those issues that emerge at the crossroads of late middle age and the elder years: generativity vs. stagnation; decline in physical prowess and the act hunger to embody wisdom; declining power in the current culture in contrast with empowered truth-telling, just to name a few possibilities ....like a Crown of Royalty, the "Crown of Age" can be an honor while weighing heavily on its wearer....requiring a delicate balance of roles and responsibilities. Come explore what Marion Woodman calls "The Crown of Age- a symbol of our inner and outer development as human beings".
