Conscious Aging Program

The Conscious Aging Program was developed by the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) for mature individuals, whether they be retired, starting a new job, a new relationship, new life or are caring for the sick or elderly. The program serves people who recognize that growth, satisfaction and the ability to contribute to and engage with our communities as we age are the result of conscious decisions and preparation.

“The program consists of eight facilitated sessions in which participants learn to:

  • Explore their unexamined, self-limiting beliefs and assumptions about aging and learn to make better choices about how to age more consciously.
  •  Develop the skills of self-compassion to cope more effectively with the stresses associated with aging.
  •  Discover what has given heart and meaning to their lives and how that can enrich their intentions for a healthy aging process.
  •  Identify the regrets, sufferings and negative self-concepts that have kept them from more fully appreciating themselves and their lives.
  •  Minimize any feelings of isolation from others and deepen their relationship with the world around them.
  •  Learn to manage their fears and those of their loved ones in the presence of death through the transformative power of surrender and acceptance.
  •  Cultivate a personal roadmap for their own aging journey by deepening their spiritual life and learning to make each moment matter.”
