4-part series: Thursdays, 5/7, 5/14, 5/21 & 5/28, 1:30-3:00pm

This Book Club focuses its discussion around a book that is about aging and has a spiritual element.

Join us for this 4-part series in which we will discuss The Years of Ripening: Reflections on Aging in the Later Years by Joyce Rupp. 

"The Years of Ripening focuses on personal transformation, the wonder and goodness of our hidden self, how the qualities of our person hood have been expressed, and in what ways we can claim ever more of the truest reality of our inner being.

As old age takes place, our physical being naturally weakens and wrinkles. At the same time, our non-physical being smooths out with a peaceful satisfaction. The tight ridges of past failures recede and dark illusions fade as we increasingly trust our life to be a harmonious song rooted in love. This encourages us to shed our self-willed, false control until we become freed from what binds our spirit. We let go of who we imagined ourself to be and grow in a transparency that reveals our seasoned-with-love self.

All is not ended with our final departure. We leave behind the beauty and bounty that resided within our aged selves. Like a ripened melon on the vine, so the matured fruit of our loving heart and weathered wisdom leaves a beneficial legacy to nurture a future generation."-Amazon.
