The Making of an Old Soul: the Merger of Life Stage Theory and Mysticism with Dr. Carol Orsborn

Jung wrote that the primary purpose of life is the development of "more and more consciousness." Becoming a conscious elder takes a lifetime of psychological and spiritual development, with plenty of pitfalls and faux arrivals along the way.

This 90-minute Zoom retreat, led by author and life stage expert Carol Orsborn, Ph.D.,  is situated at the intersection of adult and spiritual development, drawing upon the work of scholars and mystics from Erik Erikson and Carl Jung to James Hollis and Pema Chodron. The workshop will be a gentle weaving together of life stage theory, journaling and group discussion.

Carol Orsborn, Ph.D. is the author of 35 books on conscious aging, spirituality and life stage development.  She received her Doctorate from Vanderbilt University in the History and Critical Theory of Religion and is curator of the Fierce with Age Archives.
