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.
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.
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.
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 every 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.
