Choosing Conscious Elderhood | Hope Springs
Choosing Conscious Elderhood, our signature offering, is a retreat combining nature with deep reflection and guided work, individually and in groups. Join us May 4-10, 2026, at Hope Springs Institute in the verdant Appalachian foothills of Southern Ohio.
Using reflective time in nature, life review and legacy work, ceremony, sharing councils, and a day-long solo, we focus on the major themes of conscious eldering: belief; review and release of the past; living with purpose and meaning; community; and spiritual deepening. Empowered by strong supportive community, skilled guidance, and the heart opening power of the natural world, you will have an opportunity to let go of old beliefs, attachments, and attitudes that no longer serve you, and to get in touch with expanded vision for, and commitment to, your potential as a conscious elder.
