SUMMARY:The Twelve Steps to More Graceful Aging with Susan Pitzele\, MS and Peter Pitzele\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:We are living longer than any generation before us\, and many of us now find ourselves navigating a “fifth quarter” of life for which there are few road maps\, role models\, stories\, or shared traditions.\nSusan and Peter Pitzele\, inspired by their familiarity with the 12 Steps — the basis of Alcoholics Anonymous\, Alanon\, and many other programs — welcome us to ponder the possibility that the 12 Steps might provide deeper insight into the process of aging and dying\, help us find meaning and purpose\, feel our way through loss and grief\, and embrace opportunities of later life. \nWe invite you to join us as Susan and Peter guide us through the Steps\, exploring the potential for self-realization as we age. With warmth and compassion\, their guidance will be descriptive rather than proscriptive and encourage feedback and participation. \nWho may benefit:\n\nAdults interested in exploring aging as a developmental\, emotional\, spiritual\, and social journey\nIndividuals approaching retirement or navigating later-life transitions.\nOlder adults seeking meaning\, purpose\, and connection.\nCaregivers\, helping professionals\, educators\, clergy\, and community leaders interested in aging issues.\nAnyone curious about participating in a pioneering exploration of the Twelve Steps as a framework for aging.\n\nMake a Contribution\nClick on the contribution button and pay what you are able.\nThe suggested amount is $10 (US)\, but if you are not able to contribute at this time\, please simply register.\n \nPlease Make a Contribution to Help Us Cover Expenses — Thank You! \n  \n\n  \nAbout the Presenters\nSusan Pitzele\, MS has an advanced degree in counseling and has spent many years as a psychotherapist. She co-created Bibliodrama with Peter\, and is a veteran of 12 Step work. \nPeter Pitzele\, PhD studied literature\, and after leaving his teaching life was trained in psychodrama\,. He became the Director of Psychodrama Services at Four Winds Hospital from 1982-1995. While working with patients with dual diagnosis\, one of them being addiction\, he became acquainted with the 12 Step Programs. Later\, he joined a 12 Step Alanon group to deal with his own issues of co-dependency. Now 85\, he is a member of a local Alanon group where he is working the Steps as they apply to his “fifth quarter.” \nSusan and Peter’s presentation will be their first public presentation on the topic\, and will help them shape a new program that they are developing: a virtual\, 13-session pilot program via the International Tele’drama platform.  All are encouraged to learn more and register for their program here. \nContact information:\nPeter Pitzele\n516-375-5164 \n
