This educational project describes a six class series developed specifically for older adults. The content included theory, discussion, and experiential exercises to explore the impact of Processwork on individuals facing the challenges of aging. Chronic health problems, diminishing physical and mental abilities, changes in relationships, social isolation, and unexpected transitions are among the many issues that can negatively affect the emotional, social, physical, and spiritual well-being of older adults. The class series, held in March/April 2019, offered a safe space, support, and tools for dealing with these challenges. Processwork was shown to be an effective modality for finding meaning in aging and revealing positive aspects of the later phase of life. The project demonstrates that personal growth can be a lifelong endeavor and of interest to many older adults.
