We often think of ageing from a linear perspective of time. Something that arrives at a certain age, after retirement, or when our bodies begin to show signs of change.
And yet, from the moment we are born, we are already in the stream of ageing. Although we know this intellectually, it remains difficult to fully integrate this reality in our everyday life.
For this reason, this time of life can give rise to all sorts of fear – fear of illness, fear of isolation, fear of grief, fear of losing control.
But when we turn toward it in presence, we may find something far deeper: a timelessness that is here in every moment, untouched by the passing of years.
In this Day of Practice, Sophie Boyer invites us to awaken to the intimate, timeless nature of reality, and realize that the journey of ageing we traverse is always traversed here.
Together we’ll explore how to recognize the unchanging immediacy of sensation, even as life moves through its inevitable cycles. And through meditation, reflection, and shared dialogue, Sophie will guide us in bringing clarity to the natural law of change, and how to meet the fears it can awaken with greater ease and confidence.
