COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course explores the challenges posed to relationships by age. Based on an understanding of relating based on oneness, the course starts with an exploration of humanness in the context of identity, spirituality and connection. Once this foundation has been laid, it continues to discuss the specific practical challenges posed by aging.

My name is François Wessels and I will be facilitating the course. I have developed this course and have been presenting it since 2018. I am a pastoral therapist and spiritual coach and did extensive research on people’s experience of significance for my PhD.
