Listen "Spirituality and Aging, Featuring Nancy Phillips"
Episode Synopsis
Nancy Phillips joins us today on the podcast. A retired nurse, writer, and Spiritual Director, she developed and now leads “Growing in Wisdom” a 2-year program focused on the spirituality of aging. Nancy spent the first year of her early retirement dealing with illness and the death of loved ones at a time when she needed to rest. She tells her story of finding a way out of the weary space she was in and onto a whole new path of healing, growing and discovery, one she now offers to others. Nancy describes the four things that she has found can assist us on our spiritual journey; establishing a contemplative practice; engaging and accepting our aging body with compassion; finding opportunities to talk about death and dying; and becoming a blessing elder. Listen as we talk with her, share our own stores, and explore what it means to age with wisdom and grace.
