This class has a limited enrollment of 20 students.  For more information see: Limited Enrollment Classes

Course Description:  Using the book “Wise Aging” as a starting point, we will explore four timely topics: a) Where Am I—Exploring this Stage of Life; b) Body Magic/Body Betrayal; c) Relationships Old & New; and d) Legacy & Stewardship. While this group will start in person at Pelican Cove during PCU 2025, we might find interest in continuing online after these sessions. Journaling of any kind — creative writing, artistic expression — will be encouraged. Breakout groups will give each of us opportunities to share each time we meet. P.S. While we may discuss mindfulness and spirituality in general, there is no specific religious perspective associated with this course.

Please purchase the book “Wise Aging: Living with Joy, Resilience & Spirit,” by Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal.

Instructor: Steffi Aronson Karp

After many years as Director of Public Relations for an international market research group, Steffi Aronson Karp created—and ran--LimmudBoston, a volunteer-driven conference which celebrated lifelong learning and community inclusion. While LimmudBoston centered on Jewish identity and learning, it was a community gathering, not a religious event. Each year, the LimmudBoston conference (Limmud means “study” in Hebrew) offered more than 100 courses, each of which was designed to encourage further investigation of personal growth, movement, spiritual and intellectual pursuits. Steffi and her team attracted learners from many different communities. The LimmudBoston conference was renowned for networking opportunities and community spirit.
