We all have seeds of wisdom within us. Join us for this interactive session as we explore and nurture our seeds of individual and collective wisdom. As we travel on our aging journey, we have the opportunity to consider our wisdom through new lenses. Bring your journal, a pen, and your open heart to this multi-faceted session, with time for learning, inner work, and community connection, co-faciltated by Rees Robinson (a certified Sage-ing Leader with Sage-ing International) and Andrea Youngdal (a certified Spiritual Director throught Chaplaincy Institute).

Rees is a Certified Sage-ing Leader with Sage-ing International, a Speaking of Dying End-of-Life Planning Facilitator, and a Guided Autobiography Instructor.  She’s trained in interfaith spiritual direction through core and advanced programs in Atum O’Kane’s Spiritual Guidance Wisdom School and through the Sacred Art of Living’s Anamcara Project.

Andrea Youngdahl worked in human services for over forty years, including serving as the Director of the City of Oakland, CA’s Human Services Department. Among its many functions, the Department provided a range of services and supports for aging and elder Oakland residents.
