embracing elderhood
An seven-week support group to help you navigate later-life with grace and grit.​
​
Discover meaning, motivation and inspiration in the ‘third act’ of your life.
Join me for an engaging and enlightening seven-week, in-person, small-group journey to explore what ‘elderhood’ can mean for you.
Drawing upon carefully selected research, literature, poetry and wisdom teachings, we’ll discuss juicy questions facing seasoned people like yourself, including:
​​​
What holds meaning for me in this era of my life?
How can I live with loss, limitation and/or illness?
What does it mean to be an ‘elder’ in our society?
What is the nature of my relationship with death?​
​​
Bring your gnarliest challenges, your wildest wonderings and your deepest yearnings along with your willingness to listen, your openness to discover and your vulnerability to share with fellow humans encountering the provocations of maturation in today’s turbulent world.
​
When: Wednesday afternoons - 1:30-3:30pm
Dates: 15 April - 27 May, 2026
Where: Libby's lovely home office in Canora, West End.​​
Cost: $490CAD.

why join a support group?
Group work is a great way to deepen your understanding of yourself in relation to others while exploring common challenges.
Participating in a well-facilitated support group can help you to reduce stress, find emotional support and validation, develop new social connections, gain new insights or ideas, elevate your self-care, explore life's deeper questions, build self-confidence, open to new perspectives, combat loneliness and become more authentic and empowered.
​
For me, groups are magical spaces of connection, exploration, empathy and discovery, where true community can express itself. The giving and receiving of stories, support and ideas enriches everyone involved.
In these turbulent times we need each other more than ever, and we need distraction-free spaces in which to quieten and connect. Human beings are social creatures after all; even us introverts. ;-) When we come together to share, cry, laugh, listen, enquire, wonder or learn, we are never the same when we leave.​
