A non-silent retreat for women and men led by Anne Grcyz and Mary Romo. The culture in the United States is one that admires youth, what is considered good looks, and high energy. As Walter Burkhardt, S.J. commented, “The only ideal of old age accepted in the U.S. is old age without limits or loss.” How does an elder navigate the prevalent “culture of youth?” Anne and Mary will delve into how diminishment might be an invitation to new, unimagined chapters in one’s spiritual journey.
