Confessions of an Elder-in-Training January 30, 2013

Local musician and workshop leader Jeanne Mackey shares stories, songs, and reflections on the aging process, offering a rare blend of emotional intensity, wry humor, and social commentary.

"Growing older brings some big challenges," says Mackey. "There are inevitable losses, including the crumbling of illusions about how life works, and who we thought we'd become. Yet I'm finding that aging also brings opportunities--to live more authentically and to let go of limiting beliefs. It helps to know that others are facing similar issues. And it's essential to keep one's sense of humor in the midst of the uncertainty!"
