Oct 16 | 12:00PM – 2:00PM Central Time | ONLINE EVENT VIA ZOOMThis is the second in a series of four “Spirituality for our Wisdom Years” webinars which will be offered in 2021 & 2022. These webinars give a “taste” of OST’s Forest Dwelling Program (www.ost.edu/forestdwelling), a 2-year intensive formational program for people seeking to live into a mature spirituality. In this second webinar, two of the core faculty members will give an opening glimpse into themes of aging which are developed and harvested on this journey. These two talks are an opportunity to envision a deeper, more soulful way of living with necessary losses in the final years of life.
Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI will give his talk “Mourning our Unfinished Symphony: Grief as the Path to Making our Peace”
“In the torment of the insufficiency of everything we can attain, we learn that in this life there is no finished symphony. Karl Rahner said that. Alice Miller said something similar when she said that the primary task for us as we age is grieving, grieving for the things that happened and left us wounded, and grieving for the things that didn’t happen and left us frustrated, incomplete, unfinished, and inconsummate. Grief as a spiritual discipline.”
Rev. Mary C. Earle will give her talk, “Joy and Grief are Woven Fine: Perspectives on Love and Loss in our Latter Years”
Rev. Mary shares perspectives on living fully into the gifts of grieving from the wisdom of Celtic Spirituality.
Dr. Maggie Meigs, FDP Director, will be available after the webinar to answer questions about the Forest Dwelling Program.
