"Provides a useful framework for considering what matters to you most. In a small, supportive group - with facilitation which is both warm and focused - this session can help bring clarity to decision-making and finding your way in later life."
Lina Clerke
What a great sharing group! This is really special service that you are doing by creating these forums.
Nicola Glinwood
I really enjoyed the event. This is such a rich community you are creating and I'm very pleased to be part of it.
David Pugsley
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."
