“Blessed is the one who sees the star of one’s soul as the light that is seen in the port from the sea.” - Hazrat Inayat Khan -
Join us for two 2026 Alchemy of Spiritual Eldering retreats, where you can explore the essence of spiritual eldering, harvest the beauty of your soul's journey, and embrace the profound wisdom that comes with consciously growing into the beauty of being an elder.
This retreat is crafted for those aged 55 and above, inviting you to rediscover the heart and meaning of your life. Together, we will explore compassionate and skillful ways to embrace the aging process, acknowledging the changes in body, and contemplating the profound mysteries of life and death.
Our time together will be an opportunity to deepen your spiritual practice and explore the sacredness of daily life, fostering a connection with self, others, and the divine. Set against the backdrop of a beautiful beach resort in Mexico and at Lioba Monastery in north Holland by the sea and dunes, the retreat includes:
Healing Practices: Engage in Taoist breath and movement practice to support, strengthen, and balance your body, mind, and spirit.
Contemplation and Release: Delve into releasing self-limiting beliefs and stereotypes about aging, creating space for new and creative thoughts and ideals to emerge.
Compassionate Self-Care: Cultivate skilful means to navigate the challenges commonly associated with aging, such as change, decline, loss, worry, and stress.
Facing Death and Nurturing Life: preparing for death practically and mystically, recognising its significance in the journey of a well-lived life.
Meditation, Sufi practices and singing together: to deepen our connection with unchanging Spirit which guides us through all of life's cycles
Journaling and Creating Legacy: Set aside focused time to write from your heart, contemplating what you wish to pass on as the fruit of your life's harvest (not just materially).
Free Time in Nature: Enjoy time in the afternoon to explore nearby walking trails, the beach, and the beauty of the surroundings. Take the opportunity to journal and reflect on key themes.
Wisdom Circle: a safe space to hold for each other to share deeply from the heart about the themes introduced during this retreat
PLEASE NOTE: Whether as a follow up or separate from this group retreat, I offer individually guided retreats on ZOOM for 5 days to work with any of the above themes and practices. Write to us: lightsong@gmail.com
