Please come to Palisades Alliance for Seniors' Monday, April 1 library program, titled "HEY! WHERE'D THE TIME GO? Living with Peace, Joy, and Satisfaction for the Rest of Your Life." Our speaker will be Rosemary Alden, M.A., M.F.T.
The senior years come as quite a surprise! Are you ready, or not? How can we enjoy these well-earned ‘sunset years’ when the past seems unfinished or we’re worried about the future? Capturing life’s joy is about living fully in the present moment. As we age, the challenge is to learn how to translate our fears, concerns and experiences with insight and newfound perspectives that can lead us skillfully forward.
Rosemary Alden's ability to guide others through this process is based on the knowledge that the only constant in life is change. Change often means dis-ease. But suffering is not inevitable. This yet-to-be-discovered path can be filled with ease, optimism, understanding, compassion and gratitude.
Rosemary is a mindfulness teacher and psychotherapist in private practice. Her goal is to inspire others to reflect on their lives as they navigate life’s transitions. She works with individuals, families and groups drawing from studies in Western psychology, Eastern and Native wisdom, meditation practices, and a great deal of life experience. She is a mother of five and grandmother of eight.
The program format will consist of a conversation-style discussion with the audience. During the program Rosemary expects to respond to individuals' questions and concerns that have been submitted in advance and/or shared at the gathering. In this way one may gain direct help or learn while listening to another’s experience.
To invite Rosemary’s response to your personal issue, please write several sentences about it and submit by March 30 to Palisades Alliance, via snail mail at P.O. Box 1082, PP 90272, or via email to palisadesalliance@gmail.com. If you wish to be in public conversation please do make sure to give your name. (Note: Because of time limits Rosemary may not be able to address all questions.)
The free presentation will take place in the Palisades Branch Library's Community Room, and run from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Attendees are invited to stay afterward and socialize. The library is located at 861 Alma Real Drive in Pacific Palisades. For ADA accommodations, call (213) 228-7430 at least 72 hours prior to the event.
