Conscious Living, Conscious Aging
We financially plan for our retirement, but do we plan for our wellbeing? Here is an empowering guide with practical tools to help you live a passionate, fulfilling second half of life. If you’re part of the Baby Boomer generation, then you belong to 26 percent of the US population that is retiring healthier than any generation before. And that means retirement is starting to look a whole lot different. No longer satisfied with a quiet life of sitting on the porch or puttering around the house, retirees (or soon to be) are looking to create a passionate, active, fulfilled, and engaging later life. That’s where Ron Pevny comes in. His inspiring guide helps you do what he calls “consciou...
The Inner Work of Eldering
The Inner Work of Eldering continues the yearlong exploration of THE SPIRITUALITY OF LATER LIFE begun with the previous issue of Itineraries. The issue opens, fittingly, with a tribute by Robert Atchley to Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, a gentle pioneer in the conscious aging movement. Guest editor Ron Pevny explores core concepts associated with conscious aging - life review, healing and recontextualizing the past, deepening spiritual connection, accepting mortality, creating legacy, and letting go - and introduces the contributors to the special focus section. Gary Carlson recounts his own personal efforts to ground his post-retirement doing in a deepening awareness of being. Rosalie Musc...

Reclaim Your Right To Grow Old
Thank heaven youth and middle age are behind you. Now you can concentrate on yourself. And celebrate, indulge in and be enthralled by the most significant experience you will have as a human being: the process of growing old. Our culture says the best way to deal with aging is to fight it. Look young, act young, feel young, they tell you, for as long as you can. But when it comes to crafting a blueprint for successful aging, society seems to be lagging behind modern science and way behind the philosophies of our ancestors. Leading-edge gerontologists are now discovering wisdom revealed centuries ago: that old age may be the most important stage in the human life cycle. To miss out on it by c...

Depression in Later Life
The geriatric population, defined as men and women 65 years and older, is the fastest growing population in the world. While gerontology, the study of the aging process in human beings, has brought insights about the physical, emotional, and social needs of this population, little attention has been given to the mental health of the aging, and often treatable disorders are overlooked entirely. Depression is one of the leading mental disorders in any age group, but among the elderly it is often viewed as a normal part of aging. But it’s not. Depression at any age requires attention and treatment. For sufferers and their families and caregivers, this go-to guide introduces readers to depress...
Book Of Vision Quest
Blending numerous heritages, wisdoms, and teachings, this powerfully wrought book encourages people to take charge of their lives, heal themselves, and grow. Movingly rendered, The Book of the Vision Quest is for all who long for renewal and personal transformation. In this revised edition—with two new chapters and added tales from vision questers—Steven Foster recounts his experiences guiding contemporary seekers. He recreates an ancient rite of passage—that of “dying,” “passing through,” and “being reborn”—known as a vision quest. A sacred ceremony that culminates in a three-day, three-night fast, alone, in a place of natural power, the vision quest is a mystical, practical, and intensely personal journey of self-knowledge.
Called to Be Alive!
As winging through fog fear vanished in the bright light of morning’s true sky The aging process can be a confusing time that leads many of us to wonder about the meaning and purpose of our existence as we move forward into later-life. The good news is that there is hope in learning how to simply be while living fully. In a collection of original songs, poems, and intentions, Jerry O’Neill invites us to contemplate and sing along while seeking to grow truly alive with wisdom and grace. Throughout his writings, O’Neill encourages us to be mindful of God, absorbing sacred wisdom in God’s word and from nature, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and to ultimately become enlivened to embrace purposeful, joy-filled living. Better savored than simply read, Called to be Alive! shares songs, verse, and intentions that awaken us to a blessed life lived with joy and purpose. “... O’Neill’s beautiful collection of original poetry, lyrics, and affirmations is a gift to all committed to being truly alive and growing into the fullness of a conscious elderhood ...” —Ron Pevny, author of Conscious Living, Conscious Aging
Soulcraft
Since 1980, depth psychologist Bill Plotkin has been guiding women and men into the wilderness — the redrock canyons and snow-crested mountains of the American West — but also into the wilds of the soul. He calls this work soulcraft. There’s a great longing in all people to uncover the secrets and mysteries of our individual lives, to find the unique gift we were born to bring to our communities, and to experience our full membership in the more-than-human world. This journey to soul is a descent into layers of the self much deeper than personality, a journey meant for each one of us, not just for the heroes and heroines of mythology. A modern handbook for the journey, Soulcraft is not...
