The First Universalist Church in Rockland is offering an 8-session class on Elderhood & Spirituality, starting Thursday, Oct. 2, from 10 a.m. - 12 noon.

During the 2-hour weekly sessions, participants will have the opportunity to explore their life journeys and elder consciousness. The text guide will be Age-ing to Sage-ing by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. The primary objective is for each person to gain a deeper understanding of spiritual eldering through experiences of reflection and discussion, journal writing and meditation. 

"All of us - from children on up - recognize that we are part of the process of aging," said the church.

This focus group, open to interested adults of all ages, invites participants to deepen their understanding of aging and elderhood. 

Group size limited to 10 people. 

There is a $25 registration fee, however, no one will be turned away because of finances. Registration deadline is September 24, 2025. Register at https://bit.ly/elderspirit or call the church office at 594-8750 to request help with registration.
