It’s Your Life—Live It Fully!

Gary Carlson, PhD

A Continuing Education Class at UNM

(Class 04327, Spring 2009)

When: 7 Wednesdays, February 3 to March 17, 9:30-11:30 am

Class Description: At age 60, most of us will have another 20 or 30 years to live. In this class, we will discuss how to make those years satisfying and productive. We will look at aging as a time of exciting personal growth and development, not as a time of decline. We will draw from the work of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and others, who have developed a model of aging in a conscious way. The class will be highly interactive, with discussions and exercises to add to the student’s understanding. This class will be particularly suitable to those in the second half of life.

The Instructor: Gary Carlson, PhD, is co-director of the Sage-ing™ Group of New Mexico, a consulting firm that presents workshops on conscious aging. He is a leader of the Conscious Aging Network of New Mexico, an organization dedicated to the goal of making our elder years more satisfying and fulfilling. He created and helps lead the Sage-ing Guild, an international professional organization of Sage-ing Leaders. Gary retired eleven years ago after a 30-year career as a research scientist and manager at Sandia National Laboratories. For over 20 years, he has participated as leader and participant in human potential activities, including over ten New Mexico Men’s Wellness conferences and a variety of other local and national conferences.
