PC600 Mind, Body, Spirit Connection in Aging
This course examines the journey of the maturing adult in the second half of life, along with its inherent gifts and challenges. Greater self-awareness, self-actualization and wisdom are some of the benefits of advancing age that will be celebrated. The common illnesses associated with later adulthood and the effects of biological aging will also be explored through the lens of a theological understanding of health and suffering, and interventions which help physically challenged adults to find solace and meaning in their situation will be introduced.
