More and more another group of women are beginning to find their way to Te Wahi Ora and they are .... older women. (i.e. Anyone my age and over!)

Here are two such women!






For when Joan Erikson (wife of the famous Erik Erikson who, with Joan's assistance, put forward the 8 stages of human development) was in her 90's and Erik was dying, she decided to re-write the 8th stage and add a 9th stage! "We were young when we wrote it originally" she explains, "now I know more of the aging process. Time for a re-write!"

"You're an original, Joan" says a friend, in the book "A Walk on the Beach" by Joan Anderson (I've just ordered 3 copies!)

"Not really," she answers, "Deep within every life, no matter how dull or ineffectual, something eternal is happening."

Now that is what I want to explore this winter with any woman who is willing to come into sacred space created over many years by many women, space for us to discover the "something eternal" that is happening!

Joan Erikson continues "the negative pulls of old age, are greater and therefore an aging person has to strive that much harder to gain strength. I didn't want to admit to myself, how difficult this last stage was - more difficult than any of the others."

We've got some exploring to do together, don't you think? And it looks as though this 9th stage deserves more time and energy than we have been led to believe!

I'll get the log fire going and the hot soup;

Let's discern that "something eternal" that is happening in our lives and give this 9th stage our best shot!
