Aging Group

The Portland Aging group, Aging in Enlightened Society, is a social group for those who are experiencing aging – whether it be turning 40 or 70.

IMG_1453The term ‘aging’ implies elders, and while that age group is certainly part of the focus, growing older is happening to each of us every day.  Our purpose is to promote community, connection, and inspiration among people wanting to bring their life experiences onto the path of meditation and mindfulness.

Please contact the Aging Group Coordinator for more information or to be added to the Aging group email list for announcements of time and place for our meetings and other occasional announcements.

The group has decided to read and discuss DEATH: The End of Self-Improvement, by Joan Toliffson. We will meet online via Zoom on the first and third Monday of the month from 3 to 4:30pm starting December 7th. Joan Toliffson has generously accepted our invitation to attend our first meeting on December 7th! To leave her a donation, visit her website: https://www.joantollifson.com/.
