March’s Spotlight was Scott Quinn from Marin Interfaith Council, Thank You for sharing your time with our Group!
Scott Quinn from the Marin Interfaith Council spoke on the subject of,
“Spirituality and Older Adults: Doing, Being and Beyond.”
- Description: In this discussion, we will look at what spirituality is and how that can evolve over a lifetime. We will look at the gifts and challenges of spirituality in one’s later years and explore ways to engage individually and communally with aging adults and their spiritual paths. While each path is unique, there are some typical patterns and milestones that we will discuss as related to the aging process and how we can be supportive. We will also hold questions of identity, being vs. doing, and mortality as core questions for every phase of life, but particularly for aging adults.
