Women Awakening As We Age (DC2D26)
Debra Chamberlin-Taylor, MA
August 23, 2026
Registration closes at 9:00am (Pacific Time) on August 23, 2026. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.
Description:
The gifts and challenges of aging can be profound doorways into deepened awakening, equanimity, and quiet inner joy. We may know how to open to and appreciate the blessings a long life can bring—or we may overlook subtle gifts when certain difficulties feel “louder.” At times, we can contract into worry, self-judgment, or sorrow in the face of the changes and losses that often accompany aging.
In our community of women, we’ll explore our relationship to changes in our bodies, minds, roles, appearance, finances, and social connections. Together, we’ll learn how to harvest and celebrate the wisdom, love, and compassion that emerge from decades of lived experience.
Through guided practices, we’ll cultivate the capacity to open—rather than close—to all that life brings. In doing so, we may discover a deepening ease: the freedom to relax, to accept ourselves more fully, and to recognize our inherent worth.
Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.
