The Illuminated Life® Workshop: Home > Workshop Sampler

This sampler or mini-program is excerpted from The Illuminated Life: Your Third Age Lifebook –- the workshop’s workbook designed for older adults. (A second workbook, The Illuminated Life: Your Lifebook, is appropriate for adults irrespective of age.)

In our “third age” many of us are free to rethink our lives. Is this time to be a rather faded copy of the past or a not very meaningful patchwork of activity? If your answer is “no,” read on.
