Our four-session series on preparing to receive caregiving will explore the difficulty of accepting help as we age and how to overcome it.
About the Event
Join AARP New York for four workshops on navigating aging’s dance of independence, dependence and interdependence with grace and continued growth.
Facilitated by a Sage-ing® Mentor experienced in drawing upon the wisdom that comes with age, these 90-minute sessions on accepting caregiving will explore challenges - and gifts - of this time in life. We’ll consider such topics as coming to terms with losses, overcoming resistance to accepting help and strengthening our support networks.
This first session, The Journey for the Body, will help participants:
- Anticipate physical challenges that may cause a need for assistance
- Learn what it means to “sage” as we age
- Identify barriers to accepting help and ways to move past them
- Ponder what life still holds to look forward to, to fear and to be curious about
Each workshop will include breakout sessions for small group sharing.
Upcoming sessions:
11/19: The Journey for the Mind
11/26: The Journey for the Heart
12/03: The Journey for the Spirit
