Wisdom Rising: Exploring the Path of Parenting as We Age
As parents of any age, we know the depth and breadth of our commitment and our love for our kids. As our kids age, move into their own lives, perhaps have their own children, what is our role? How do we define our relationship as parents of grown kids? As we age, what do we need, what do they need? How do we help create and support the relationship with healthy boundaries?
Join me and Samantha Akers for this beautiful in-depth exploration of parenting through the lens of the Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha. We’ll especially work with the teachings on Wisdom, Ethics and the Heart. Each 2-hour session will include guided and silent meditation, a talk and group discussion.
