Course Description: We will explore four essential topics: a) Where Am I—Exploring this Stage of Life; b) Body Beautiful/Body Betrayal; c) Relationships & Clutter—including “Swedish Death Cleaning;” and d) Legacy & Stewardship. Journaling of any kind — creative writing, artistic expression — is encouraged. Breakout groups will give each of us opportunities to share each time we meet. While we may discuss mindfulness and spirituality in general, there is no specific religious perspective associated with this course.

Instructor: Steffi Aronson Karp

After many years as Director of Public Relations for an international market research group, Steffi Aronson Karp created 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.
