Join us for a Lunch & Learn event, presented by The Jung Center's Community for Conscious Aging. Bring your lunch to an hour that always provides food for thought.

Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi – celebrated for his work in ecumenical dialogue and Jewish Renewal – was an originator of the movement for conscious aging, and was at the forefront in defining its aims and means. After a brief account of his extraordinary life, this presentation will review his vision of “spiritual eldering,” its potential role in personal and social transformation, and its promise of a more creative and fulfilling elderhood. Tracking his application of insights from contemplative traditions and transpersonal psychology to issues of aging, we will explore his notions of the value of elderhood in mentoring, healing, and the “art of life completion.”
