A Support Group for adults aged 70 & Up

NEW 8-WEEK GROUP STARTING IN OCTOBER Oct 31, Nov 7, 14, 21, Dec 5, 12, 19, 26
Group meets on Thursdays 10.30 AM -12 PM at Kol Shofar (Kitah 3)

As we transition into our 70s, 80s and 90s we are confronted with the reality that the issues pertinent to this phase of life are unique and often disconcerting. What we had taken for granted in our younger years is being challenged: our health and mental acuity, the reliability of friends and family, our daily routines and role definitions, our sense of identity and “denial” of the aging process, as well as the issues around the mortality of loved ones and ultimately our own mortality. Additionally, recent events: COVID, the October 7th massacre, the uncertainty of the trajectory of the war in Israel, and the rise in antisemitism have left us more vulnerable. Acknowledging these realities, Conversations in Aging is a process group where members can share their concerns and experiences. As a process group, confidentiality is vital as is a commitment to all sessions. To participate, please contact facilitators Esme Gordon and/or Esther Stone.
