Spirited Ageing: Cultivating the Art of Renewal

Author(s): Juliet Batten

Ageing Well | Growing Older

Do you see ageing as a curse or a gift? Preparing for ageing is as important as preparing for childbirth, yet most people enter into the last stage of life without a clear intention. In Spirited Ageing you will learn how to embrace ageing so that it lifts you into a whole new stage of growth. Juliet Batten brings together the skills of a storyteller, scholar and psychotherapist. With the breakthrough 'Star' model she powerfully redefines ageing so that it becomes an initiation into a path of deep satisfaction. In each chapter she offers three 'supports', together with practical exercises and helpful examples. From Passion and Possessions to Dementia and Dying, her compassionate guidance takes the reader through what is essential in preparing for a fulfilling time of life.
