Aging Workshop: A VIRTUAL WORKSHOP that will educate and inspire you in ways you have not previously considered.
Event Description
September 9, 2026 10:00 am-5:00pm EST
Do you love the body you have right now? Are you totally satisfied with the genes you inherited? Does a chronic illness cause you to feel like your body betrayed you?
It is never too late to make the acquaintance of
the Wise Elder archetype that awaits redemption!
American culture overvalues youthfulness and undervalues or completely dismisses the value of aging. Acute illness is viewed compassionately and treated aggressively; chronic illness receives less attention, support, and sympathy. As members of our death-denying, youth-inspired society, we unconsciously adopt these values for ourselves. Without even realizing it, we cut ourselves off from our inner elder who holds the wisdom that we secretly long for.
Accepting the diagnosis of a chronic illness or that aging is really happening is one thing – an important thing. But moving into actually consenting to it is another – it’s a deeper dive into a different dimension of self that can result in peace.
Join the Opus Peace team for a day-long VIRTUAL WORKSHOP that will educate and inspire you in ways you have not previously considered.

- Identify cultural barriers that interfere with healthful aging
