Meeting Ourselves Across Time: Growing Up … At Any Age

Child of yesterday

Future self waits patiently

We meet here tonight

What would your younger self see when she looks at you now? And what quiet wisdom might your future self be holding for you? Join us for a gentle evening of reflection as we explore the lifelong art of growing up — at any age.

We are never just one version of ourselves. Within us live the child who dreamed, the adult who adapted, and the future self who is still quietly unfolding. Life invites us, again and again, to pause and notice the paths we’ve walked and the directions still calling us forward.

We’ll explore two simple yet powerful questions: What have I done or become that would surprise my younger self? What do I still want to be, do, or have as I continue growing?

Through gentle reflection, journaling, small group sharing, and spacious conversation, we’ll honour resilience, celebrate unexpected turns, and listen for the quiet longings that continue to shape our lives. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable — only an invitation to be curious, compassionate, and present.

Together we create a warm, welcoming circle where stories can be spoken, insights can emerge, and each person is met with respect and kindness. Come as you are — thoughtful, curious, or simply open to seeing yourself with fresh eyes.
