About
Over the last few months , Life-Stage has been enquiring into changes in identity as we age. Do we want to be a fossilised version of our younger selves as we grow older? What do we want to put in place of some of the out-dated images that we and others carry of ourselves.
In this season of endings and beginnings, we will see if there is anything you would like to let go of as we move into the New Year.
Welcome to the playful and the serious. Welcome to the sad and the joyous. This is a chance to connect with others and yourself without judgement. Let's find the inner courage and wisdom to explore intention and purpose for the New Year and beyond.
The event costs is £45. There will be drinks and snacks provided. Bring your own lunch.
The event is FREE for Life-Stage Members. Membership is open to anyone who has attended a Life-Stage session before.

These sessions run throughout the year and are designed to develop on-going connection and purpose as we age. Each month we explore recurring themes such as courage, vulnerability and wisdom. Over several years Life-Stage has developed a range of engaging activities to support a positive mental attitude. After mid-life , time seems to speed up, so this day is a chance for us to slow down together, to breath, to listen empathically and to share. We use tried and tested ways to explore where we are on the ageing journey and what it is that we want for ourselves and our community It’s a space to let go of what is no longer working in your life so that by the end of the session you can leave with fresh energy and new hope.. Everyone is welcome and all activities are by invitation, so you can simply “pass” if you wish. Life-Stage Connections is not a one-off event - you can renew your connections and start new dialogues every month. We look forward to you joining us soon.
Each session is organised by 3 or 4 members of the Life-Stage team with many years of experience in facilitating group work. Life-Stage events are loosely based on The Power in Ageing by Adam Duncan
