“Creativity is not the possession only of artists and writers—the highest use of creativity is a creative life, which brings freshness and renewal every day. By accessing your creativity, you can always find a way to get unstuck. When you bring your potential to life, you are being creative.”
          —Deepak Chopra

We are so pleased that you have found our website and are interested in exploring our various “Creative Aging” and other programs. Both in our seventies, we are in the most creative and exciting period of our lives, and we believe this is something you can experience as well. The following passage by spiritual teacher Dr. Ernest Holmes has inspired us in our approach to life and our work:

​Youth is not entirely a time of life—it is a state of mind. It is not wholly a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips, or supple knees. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life. It means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of an appetite for adventure over love of ease.
 
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. …
 
Whatever your years, there is in every being's heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what is next, and the joy and the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, cheer and courage, so long are you young. [Help for Today, p. 81]

Everything we do in our programs has the purpose of transformation embedded in it—creating more consciousness, more aliveness, more creativity, more expansiveness—symbolized by the blue morpho butterfly. They incorporate various spiritual practices that we have come to rely on and are the bedrock of our personal and professional lives, as well as our teaching work. Spiritual practices are powerful guideposts along each of our paths in finding our unique calling and shifting our consciousness away from self-limiting beliefs, patterns, attitudes, and fears, and toward living the rest of our lives fueled by passion, purpose, and expanded possibilities. There is extraordinary potential awaiting each of us right here and now.
 
We invite you to peruse our “Wheel of Spiritual Practices for Creative Aging” below to get an overview of the transformational processes we explore in our courses, workshops, and retreats. Our eight-week online, live, interactive course, “Creative Aging: Embracing Life with Passion, Purpose & Possibility,” takes you on an evolutionary journey through all 12 of them, and the results are truly metamorphic! You’ll emerge from the experience with beautiful new wings.
 
You can also read what previous course participants have to say about their own lives as a result of undertaking this powerful exploration into the depths of their essence. By clicking on the “Creative Aging Program” category in the menu, you can view more testimonials and our full course details.
 
In addition, if you are interested in gaining expanded clarity, insight, and perspective about your life through the ancient system of knowledge of tarot, please click on “Tarot Readings” in the menu bar to learn about Barbara’s unique, multidimensional tarot practice.
 
Whatever our endeavors, creating sacred space is a priority—a supportive environment where you can be totally yourself just as you are at this moment and also experience the opportunity to consciously evolve along your spiritual and worldly paths. We are committed to assisting you in deeply knowing your true, authentic self and expressing that fully in all that you do. Happy journeying! We look forward to traveling with you.
 
To each of us living from our highest human potential,

What Course Participants Are Saying About Creative Aging

“The ‘Creative Aging’ course divinely showed up at a crucial time in my life. Barbara and Walter deftly led our group through beautiful waves of transformational exercises and experiences each week, culminating with an opportunity to express our individual creations. This course helped me quickly move through big changes in my work life, in particular, with assurance and excitement. It resulted in an even higher and better expression of my soul mission. … When I reflect back on what occurred during the time I spent participating in your course, I am amazed at how it has led to what is occurring now in my work life. I remain grateful to you both!”

“I really loved everything about the way you put your ‘Creative Aging’ course together. Finding somewhere where I could simply be myself, and yet with the confidence that there was a bedrock of knowledge in alignment with my own beliefs, was really freeing and meaningful for me. I gained a renewed and refreshed perspective on myself, thanks to your class. Deep blessings. You two are wonderful, seamless facilitators, and I feel grateful on so many levels for being a witness and participant to this. Congratulations on what is appearing to be a true and integral calling that will help many many, many people!”
