Yet many psychological, spiritual, and cross-cultural traditions tell a very different story. Later life can be a profound period of reflection, integration, and wisdom \u2013 a stage of development in which individuals deepen their sense of meaning, connection, and purpose.<\/p>\n<p>In this engaging webinar, psychologist and scholar Dr. Christopher Walling explores how aging can be understood as a sacred developmental journey rather than simply a biological process. Drawing on insights from transpersonal psychology, contemplative neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, and Indigenous perspectives on elderhood, this talk reframes aging as an opportunity for transformation and spiritual growth.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will explore how practices such as meditation, life review, and mind-body approaches can support emotional resilience, cognitive health, and a greater sense of wholeness in later life. The webinar will also examine how societies can reclaim the role of elders as carriers of wisdom, memory, and guidance in a rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n<p>This presentation is ideal for clinicians, caregivers, educators, spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in cultivating a deeper and more meaningful relationship with the process of aging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arpf.com\/index.php?option=com_mcform&amp;view=ngforms&amp;id=2275263\">Aging as a Spiritual Journey<\/a><br \/>Date: July 23, 2026<br \/>Time: 4 pm PT \/ 7 pm ET for 60 minutes<br \/>Presenter: Chris Walling,\u00a0PsyD, MBA, C-IAYT, FABP<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This webinar will be recorded.\u00a0You will get access to the recording in the ARPF Academy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arpf.com\/index.php?option=com_jevents&amp;task=icalrepeat.detail&amp;evid=65&amp;Itemid=126&amp;year=2026&amp;month=07&amp;day=23&amp;title=aging-as-a-spiritual-journey-webinar&amp;uid=f6d320f94f2a0d4c612b29e875699171\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"103\" src=\"https:\/\/alzheimersprevention.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-9.jpg\" alt=\"Register button with teal background.\" class=\"wp-image-70855 no-lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimersprevention.org\/aging-as-a-spiritual-journey-webinar\/\">Aging as a Spiritual Journey \u2013 Webinar<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimersprevention.org\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s Research &amp; Prevention Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In much of modern culture, aging is often framed as a time of decline, loss, and diminishing relevance.
