This is a dynamic session in which you will identify those aspects of your beliefs or behaviours that seem to hold you back, before letting them go and creating space for better beliefs.

Wish Upon A Star: The Hopeful Future
Hope is the eternal shining star, one of the three key ingredients identified in the science of happiness. In this session, you will acknowledge and develop your hopes for the next chapter of your life, and understand the value of optimism as you move into and through the crone years.
The session begins with a discussion around the values of hope and optimism during the ageing process and how cultural and personal beliefs can influence how we feel toward ageing, and how when we are more optimistic, we are likely to become more fulfilled.
We will then move to the Star meditation. We use the Star as the symbol of hope, as although not always visible, the stars are always there and will inevitably shine on you again. This is a meditation for optimism, enjoying the opportunity to wish upon a star.

Living With Purpose
To know our purpose is to connect with one of the key evidenced ingredients of true happiness. As we live longer, purpose can sometimes elude us, as capacities change, and the ground can feel as if it is shifting. Purpose is a big part of how we grow older, and how we love ourselves during that process.
Purpose is an important factor in mindful ageing. This conversational talk is the first of two sessions on purpose and will encourage you to reflect and consider what it means to you as we explore different aspects of purpose. This will set the foundation firmly for the full meditation,which follows in Session 8.

Drawing Your Personal Boundaries
Setting personal boundaries is an important issue in all stages of womanhood. As Crones, or would be crones, we have a chance to review and reset our boundaries in a way which not only suits us, but can also influence the younger women and environment around us. Boundaries are a cultural issue, and taking positive steps to be clear with ourselves and others will bring impact to the spaces which we occupy.
Through an active meditation of embodiment, you will associate your physical extremities with resources and vision to support you in developing boundaries, in the light of prior knowledge, experience, and resources.

With the means to create the essentials of each day, you can influence your whole life, and recognise the importance of valuing every second, every minute, hour, and day, with confidence in your inner truth.
