Conscious Aging involves becoming a wise elder rather than elderly. We strive to live in the present instead of the past with regrets, or the future with anxiety.  The class will focus on the philosophy and skills needed to become a wise elder through life review and harvesting, finding meaning and purpose, and leaving a legacy to future generations. Elderhood is viewed as a time of unparalleled inner growth rather than diminishment. "The thing to do is neither fear old age nor fight it, but accept it without tension, take hold of it, and make something beautiful out of it." --Schachter-Shalomi, From Age-ing to Sage-ing.

Barbara Shovers, M.A., is a life coach and gerontologist and has been a full-time faculty member at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, as well as an instructor at Coconino Community College and Mesa Community College.

She retired from teaching and moved to Flagstaff in 2009 where she formed a Wisdom Seekers Book Group and Wellness Series at the Montoya Center which continues to this day. She is an elder who is always seeking more wisdom.

This class meets on four Mondays: April 8, 15, 22, 29, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Lone Tree Campus in the APS room.

Jay McCormick will lead this metalsmithing workshop! Come and learn how to work with metal including torching, polishing, stamping, and soldering. The class fee includes expert instruction, all the materials needed to make your art piece, and tools provided by CCC's Skilled Trades program as well as a grant from the Flagstaff Community Foundation. We'll provide copper to work with, or you can bring your own silver.

Jay McCormick has always enjoyed working with his hands. As an artist, he began working with leather and then transitioned into metalworking for jewelry. For the past 45 years he has been silversmithing using his unique geometric and nature-inspired stamping patterns on rings, bracelets, belt buckles, and many other metal art pieces. A resident of northern Arizona for over 50 years, Jay is excited about the opportunity to lead this community workshop.
