Graphic of Delaware with New Castle County Highlighted

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | February 4, 2026-May 6, 2026

Wednesday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM

This course has been added since catalog publication.

This Wisdom Circle is designed as a continuation for participants who completed the Fall 2025 Harvesting the Gifts of Age course. Building on that foundation, the circle will offer space for deeper reflection, shared inquiry, and continued integration of conscious eldering practices. Together, participants will explore emerging themes related to conscious eldering, meaning, and purpose; revisit and reflect on intentions set during the course; and engage in a guided book study.

The group will meet on the first Wednesday of each month, beginning February 4 and concluding May 6, 2026.

PREREQUISITE: The only prerequisite is having completed the Fall 2025 Harvesting the Gifts of Age course.

This offering meets for a total of 4 session(s).
