The inevitable loss of our youth and the natural decline of our physical bodies is for many of a certain age, cause of great distress and grief. Mindfulness teacher and Empowerment Coach, Cynde Denson, will discuss her own experience of how her grandmother and mom approached their Golden Years and inevitable transition; embittered, resentful, angry, in denial, and envious of those they saw as having a happier existence—and how she and we can do it differently; how we can become an elder vs. elderly and embrace aging with an attitude of gratitude, mindfulness, surrender, acceptance, and as an opportunity for deeper inner awareness and expansiveness of mind and spirit—and lastly, giving ourselves permission to fully grieve every inevitable loss along the way.
