Reflect on what it means to move from middle age into what Jung calls “the afternoon of life.” We do not have a roadmap for this journey, but the truth is, we have specific tasks as we enter our elder years (60-90+ years of age). Through writing prompts, sand tray work, movement exercises, and other expressive arts, we will search for and give voice to the individual sage and wise one within, and we will begin to access the creativity that allows elders the mission of the afternoon of life: to serve as guardians of mystery and keepers of the heritage of our cultures.
