Who are we?

The Conscious Aging Network of New Mexico is a gathering of individuals who believe in the potential of Conscious Aging to enhance the quality of our lives.

We share a belief that our later years can be a time of growth, discovery and joy, a time in which we seek wisdom, participate fully in the human family, and create a legacy for future generations.

We meet regularly to network, gather and disseminate ideas, and support each other in our individual and collective endeavors.  We welcome others who share our vision to join us at our gatherings.

Activities:

CAN-NM periodically sponsors workshops and other activities on topics of interest to elders and elders-to-be.  Recent workshops have included "The Tao of Aging" with David Chernikoff and Drew Leder, "The Muse of Aging", with Linda Leonard, Jungian Analyst, and "Conscious Aging--Because Your Life Matters," and "Exploring the Dimensions of Community," presented by CAN-NM members.  For the past five years, we have organized a Conscious Aging track for the New Mexico Conference on Aging, held each August in Albuquerque.  During this time, several keynote speakers (Harry Moody, Richard Leider and Dr. William Thomas) have focused on conscious aging issues, and each year, about 20 mini-workshops on conscious aging topics are presented.

There are also Elder Circles in Albuquerque, Los Alamos, Santa Fe and Silver City that meet regularly to discuss conscious aging-related topics.
