Hi Dear Friend,

Twelve years ago, I turned 63 years old. I felt a weird, indescribable difference in my sense of self. It was not about getting older and thinking about social security and medicare. It was more of a silent shout that a certain new soul aliveness had been born in me. 

Having spent a couple of decades immersed in anthroposophy and the study of selfhood, I quickly realized I was experiencing the beginning of another 21 year cycle in my biography, a new stage of selfhood. 

It has taken another 12 years (a Jupiter cycle) for me to deeply understand the rich spiritual possibilities that are only available beyond this fourth celebration of 21 years. 

We incarnate in our first 21 years. We find our Way in our 2nd 21 years. From 42 to 63, revealing our truth is the challenge. And, now beyond 63 the meaning and purpose of Life can be contemplated. 

Over 40 dear souls, a few not yet 63, participated in the first Beyond 63 program. Many of them plan to participate again this time. Please join us.

 We will consciously contemplate and imagine over 7 sessions the meaning and mystery in

My Life, So Far - The Sixth Day Contemplation

My Life Yet to Be  -The Remaining Mornings and Evenings.

This Life’s Ending - The Seventh Day of Rest

Preparing for the Next Life  - Imagining a New and Different Creation/Genesis of Self

We will work with the imagination of having a conversation with our angel about how this life will be written in the Akashic Record.

In all my courses, I am both guide and participant. As guide, I create a framework of questions and exercises to fulfill the purpose of the course. I work with revealing the archetypes of being human and the ways of individuation.

As a participant, I jump in with enthusiasm, overcome my hesitations, and find new imaginations of myself as a wild  and meaningful variation of being human. 

I am so excited to participate in Beyond 63 with you and all the other participants. Over the last 35 years of guiding so many courses, I have come to know well the grace of working on self-knowledge in community, in the midst of a gathering of angels.

Three Intentions and Three Outcomes 

and the Logistics

What are the intentions behind Beyond 63 and what are the outcomes? Is this what you want?

In “Teaching in an Age of Paralysis” by Douglas Gerwin in the Summer-Fall 2022 issue of Being Human, the magazine of the US Anthroposophical Society, three needs for enlightening education are mentioned: coaching, counseling, and a compass  Douglas Gerwin has spent his life in high school as a student, a teacher, and a trainer of teachers. His insights on the three  of an high school teacher were perfect to describe why we need Beyond 63.

Reaching 63 or soon after, we arrive at a new stage of development similar to puberty. Like teenagers seeking adulthood and the meaning of life, we are mature adults seeking elderhood and the meaning of our lives. Both stages can be anxious and confusing, disruptive and distressing, and full of complexity and a myriad of inner questions.

The Three Intentions

Gerwin writes that that a high school pedagogy requires three types of teachers: a coach for supporting the will, a counselor for support in managing feelings, and a compass for sensitively giving direction to thinking. 

Bingo! These are the three intentions living in Beyond 63 - Imagining Right Aging, Blessed Dying & The Great Mysteries Beyond Death. In the course, you will find coaching for what to do to move efficiently  and elegantly into elderhood and death. You will find compassionate counseling for managing the complexity of feelings about the meaning of life and how to experience beauty and peace in both aging and dying. Finally, Beyond 63 provides the spiritual compass for thinking, safely pointing the way beyond the increasingly limiting horizons of space and time to the increasing richness of soul. We will explore the great mysteries that live beyond death and shape our future lifetimes.

There is a fourth intention that that is to offer encouragement and permission live these years and cross the threshold your way whether that be with wild creativity or calm serenity. 

The Three Outcomes

The three outcomes will be 

• an empowered creativity in your will, 
• an equanimity and self-compassion in your feelings, and 
• a clarity and luminosity in your thoughts 

for a rich journey through our Sabbath Years. 

The program is about nurturing your soul regardless of what unfolds in your biology and your biography. If it is your etheric destiny to eventually face dementia in your mind/brain, crippling in your bones, diminishment in your senses, or painful illness in your body, your soul, your higher self will have a sustaining and living imagination of right aging and blessed dying. 

I'm still so alive and mobile in body and soul and I want to use this aliveness and fluidity to imagine growing older and dying with enthusiasm. I didn't incarnate to live forever as Lynn. I want to bring my continuing joy for living into a new joy for my inevitable dying. 

 Imagine the freedom, love, and wisdom that begins to appear in our souls with entering the portal of elderhood and arriving at the threshold of death. 

A fourth outcome is the forming of a community of souls willing to continue the process beyond the course.

Shortly before his death, Rudolf Steiner wrote this verse for Ita Wegman: 

"Grasp the future

Through the past, 

Hope for the becoming

Through what has become.

So take hold of being

In becoming;

So take hold of what will be

In the essence of what is now. "

—Rudolf Steiner,

 for Ita Wegman, 24 December 1924

Let's grasp the future and take hold of being in becoming.

More on Why Me?

Forty-two years ago, I designed my very first course. I was a co-founder of a birthing center and I shaped the education program on pregnancy, birth, and newborn parenting. Now I have designed this course on aging and dying. The whole shebang of life! There have been over thirty courses in between these two, all of them intending to recognize, comfort, and support the imagination of self in all areas of living, being, and becoming.

This past Christmas was my 19^th series of Inner Christmas Messages during the Holy Nights. These messages are always about actively dwelling in the Threshold of a spiritually inspired new understanding and manifesting of selfhood. 

I see all my years of spiritual research on the task of self-imagining as providing prompts for wondering, not as dictates or fixed forms. My courses are really more like artists’ studios, scientists’ labs, children’s playgrounds, and philosophers’ studies. 

Join me in this Magical Mystery Tour…

Come with me and the other participating souls on contemplating the four tasks of Sabbath Consciousness. They will be truly enlivening for your soul.

My Life, So Far - The Sixth Day Contemplation

This Life’s Ending - The Seventh Day of Rest

The Age for Participating

Obviously, you cannot be too old. If you are 63 and confident, thanks to longevity genes, feel you will have another 30 or 40 years, something does shift at 63 and you need to pay attention to it. 

If you haven’t turned 63 yet, but feel a deep calling to work with the mysteries of aging, dying and beyond, you are welcome to enroll.

Any Religious Requirements?

None. You don’t even need to believe in anything non-material or airy-fairy. You just need an open mind, a searching soul, and good humor as I will be sharing from a spiritual perspective, but not a dogmatic one.

The Logistics

The course will unfold in seven modules that consist of Live Zoom Gatherings (around 90 minutes) where I will share questions and imaginations and we will then have open conversation. These zoom events will be on Wednesdays at 1PM Eastern. They will be recorded for replay in video and audio, and there will be transcripts. I will provide supporting materials and beautiful workbooks for each module. You will have access to all this content for “life.”

And everys Tuesday at 5PM Eastern, I offer Teatime with Lynn, an hour of open conversation on zoom.  These are so wonderful and full of new meaning. 

There is also a community portal for connecting with each other, sharing questions, insights, and inspirations. 

To achieve the outcomes you desire, I would suggest you devote 3 or more hours  each week to this life sabbath work.  (I know the Sabbath is a day of rest, but it is also a day of inner reflection even for God.)

The Cost

The cost is only $247 (or 3 monthly payments of $83). 

I am able to give discounts…pay what you can…just send me an email and let me know what you can afford and I will send you a payment link.)

And if your life has blessed you with wealth and you would like to pay it forward and support the work of the Imagine Self Academy (the tech expenses alone cost me over $400/month) and my life, please get in touch.

Learn more and register.

Our first Zoom gathering will be a 1PM Eastern on Ash Wednesday, February 22.
