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. Dates: 16 23 July 2015 Venue: Eremo di Ronzano, near Bologna, Italy Cost: €750 (single room) and 600 (double room) if full payment is received before May 23, 2015 €800 (single) and €650 (double) after that date (in this case a nonrefundable deposit of €100 is due by May 23) The fee includes full board and lodging from dinner of July 16 to lunch of July 23, programme materials and tuition About the facilitators: 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 psychosynthesisbased 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.
