Todays seniors are reshaping what retirement is all about. It is a whole new opportunity to engage with family, community, and the world with vigor. Dont just grow olderage consciously.

Reviews

Ron Pevny's book Conscious Living, Conscious Aging is a unique and valuable resource for those seeking purpose, service, and continual growth in the later chapters of their lives. Its uniqueness lies in its weaving together of Sage-ing and other conscious aging practices, deep wisdom about life transitions and rites of passage, and inspiring stories from those who have chosen to engage in this inner work, all with the goal of supporting the development of the conscious elders our world urgently needs. -- Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, co-author of From Age-ing to Sage-ing
