The Grace in Aging 

Awaken as You Grow Older 

 By Kathleen Dowling Singh

The Grace in Aging, by renowned Buddhist teacher Kathleen Dowling Singh, establishes guideposts in the fog for those seeking greater meaning and fulfillment as they edge toward life’s grand finale. She urges us to reclaim the process of aging. Far from being “too late” to change our lives, Singh says the timing of middle age or seniorhood is perfect. “We can,” she writes, “dedicate these last years to waking up.” Singh is a grandmother, a Dharma practitioner, and a psychotherapist. She offers wisdom from teachers from different spiritual backgrounds, including Chogyam Trungpa, the apostles, Annie Dillard, and more. She speaks often of death, and asks pointed questions without answers. But rather than feeling disheartened by her challenging lessons, the impact is exhilaration.

This women's group book study is free of charge, though you are welcomed to make a gift offering to Donna & the Crystal Street Space.
