If 60 is the New 50, and 50 is the New 40, When Do Adults Get to Rejoice in Their Maturity?
Workshop Explores how Midlife Can Be Rebirth
The pressure to stay young has never been stronger. Modern society places a premium on looking and acting younger than your age. Yet there is a need for change at midlife – an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another – a human phenomenon, that affects both male and female. There simply comes a time in our lives – not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood – when we accept that one part of ourselves needs to “die” for something else to be reborn.
Marianne Williamson, bestselling author and lecturer, encourages people to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening. In a her new book, The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife, Williamson treats this transition as “a magical turning point toward life as we’ve never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of independent imagination.” Now in a powerful new Workshop, Williamson brings these principles to life showing us how to leave behind who you used to be and step into an entirely new domain of your existence.
The Workshop is being presented by New Vision Center on Sunday, April 20 at the Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort, 5401 North Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85250, 2-5:00 pm. Tickets available at www.newvisionaz.org. Ticket prices: $45.00 Regular Seating; $60.00 Premium Seating. Group Tickets available.





















That sounds interesting.
That sounds interesting. It's easy to say I'll embrace my maturity when I'm only 30. Now that I've started to see a few wrinkles and even 5 gray hair (gasp!) I realize why some people get obsessed. I'm doing my best to stay grounded.
