A  Gathering  of  Elders                

There   are   transitional   stages   in   life  when  we  may   find   ourselves   at   an   unknowing   point,   in   an   inbetween,  doubtful  area  and  no  longer  sure  of  our  place  in  the  world.  We  may  experience  loss  of  meaning  and  identity,  isolation,  unexpected  change,  endings  and  more...  It   is   here,   in   these   'borderlands',   that  we   invite   and   supportively   challenge   you   to   discover   new  meaning,  purpose  and  greater  fulfillment  through  a  deeply  freeing,  nurturing  and  creative  process.  Come,  come  whoever  you  are  and  join  us.  The  programme  will  take  place  in  the  beauty  and  silence  of  Ronzano  Hermitage  on  the  Bologna  hillside,  Italy.

Hazel  Carey  works  internationally  as  a  creative  arts  facilitator  and  transpersonal  growth  trainer.  She  enjoys  weaving  together   her   physical   theatre   and   psychology   backgrounds   to   facilitate   the   integration   of   mind,   body   and   spirit,  enabling  us  to  open  to  our  potential  as  elders.    

Brian   Graham   is   a   psychosynthesis-­‐based   therapist,   supervisor,   and   international   educator.   He   is   particularly  passionate   about   the   soul’s   journey   through   life   and   finding   greater   fulfilment   and   joy   through   the   vehicle   of  eldership.      

Mariella   Lancia   is   a  Psychosynthesis   trainer,   counsellor  and  Yoga   teacher.   She   is   the  Honorary  President  of  WYSE  Italy   and   has   written   numerous   books   on   Education   and   Psychosynthesis.   She   aims   to   demonstrate   that   the  “wisdom”  of  elders  can  be  combined  with  fun,  enjoyment,  a  sense  of  adventure  and  a  pinch  of  craziness.  

 WYSE   Italia   is   an   ONLUS   (Non   Profit   Social   Utility   Organization)   and   works   in   collaboration   with   WYSE  International,   an   NGO   which   specializes   in   educational   and   intercultural   programmes   for   young   people   and   in  training  leaders  to  serve  the  needs  of  a  radically  renewed  society.
