With gratitude for the wisdom of many elders\, we can share the experience of redefining purpose and meaning as the leaves begin to fall. The autumn of life is filled with the colours of memory. More than that\, it is a time to discover new meaning and purpose as we collect the shards of wisdom that we have attained and share in the divine gift of life. A time to move away from Age-ism to Sage-ism. \nRetreat format: In-person \nDate: September 15 – 17\, 2026  \nRegistration Fee: Total is $300 with a deposit of $150 (meals and accommodation inclusive) \nRegistration Deadline: September 8\, 2026 \nLed by: Raphael (Ralph) Benmergui currently serves as the Executive Director of ALEPH Canada.
