The Art of Aging

"THE ART OF AGING, Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self", is our new book published by Sentient Publications. This book takes a penetrating look at aging through a series of projects that confront fear and curiosity about growing old. We explore physical changes, sensuality and relationships, aging parents, spirituality and death. Drawing on our personal experiences and the wisdom of older mentors, we conclude that our elder years can be a time of ripening and harvest rather than stagnation and despair. The profusely illustrated book contains a wealth of inspiration, especially for those about to enter old age. Available at Amazon.com and bookstores.
