Auburn Universalist Unitarian workshop for women

AUBURN — Auburn Unitarian Universalist, 169 Pleasant St., will present “Aging as a Spiritual Journey: A workshop for women” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7.

The workshop will look at the four goddess-based archetypes — maiden, mother, sovereign and crone — and how they help to shape life’s journey.

D’Vorah Kelley, a UU chaplain from Keene, N.H., will facilitate the workshop concerning many questions. What gifts do we receive from each archetype? What are the fears, concerns, hopes and wishes we bring to this journey? What dreams are yet to be fulfilled? How can we support each other as we travel through the stages?

The cost is $40 per person. The church is wheelchair accessible.
