It's hugely important for me as an older man to re-engage with my peers, and with this time of life, positively. Life-Stage offers me a creative, safe and beneficial way to do that."

REVIEW 

The Power in Ageing

THE GUIDE BOOK FOR LIFE-STAGE EVENTS

Adam Duncan has written, with much thought and honesty on the  almost taboo subject of old age ; calling us to find meaning and purpose in later life. The book is full of hands on questions and exercises people might engage with to open to a creative and reflective connection to where they find themselves. 

Adam calls us to open to life’s challenges and continue to engage, be real, and grow and feel and deepen.

REVIEW 

The Power in Ageing

THE GUIDE BOOK FOR LIFE-STAGE EVENTS

Adam Duncan offers a warm and gentle invitation to reflect on ageing and how we might meet it gracefully and meaningfully. He has created a simple format that guides, informs and opens up into  spaciousness, helping us to engage in co-creating (what I imagine we all wish for) a fulfilling conclusion to our one precious life! It's an excellent resource."
