Dr Iyer leads workshops that help you live your best self. She expertly delves into the blocks that keep you from joy with insight and compassion, exploring the places where you are stuck in behavior you don’t want. What keeps you bound in behavior that harms you – be that maladaptive eating or choosing unhealthy relationships and/or situations? Participants in past workshops have said things like “Dr. Iyer, I changed not only my eating habits, I changed my life!” “Thank you!”

Join Dr. Mary Ann Iyer for the 3-part series “Aging as a Spiritual Practice” starting Feb. 13, 2023. This series will meet in person at Elk Haven Wellness Center for 3 successive Mondays to explore this compelling topic with other seekers, in a fun and dynamic learning environment.
Aging can be a spiritually growth-filled time if we open to the gifts and possibilities of this stage of our lives. In the series, Dr. Iyer will explore:
- Letting go of historic roles and “self-identities.”
- Redefining possibilities with sometimes new limitations.
- Exploring latent talents, desires, aspirations.
- Finding a deeper sense of value with different priorities.
Dr. Iyer maintains an ethic of allowing the space for safe individual growth and deepening. To that end, her events include a healthy combination of individual work, meditative journaling (inner prompts guided by guided imagery), and 2-person conversations to facilitate the deepening process.
“We still have a future as we age!” says Mary Ann. “I will love to share time this time with you, exploring the ways we can open into our deeper, more authentic selves:
- As we drop our former roles
- Responsibilities
- Images
- And capabilities
“What are we invited to open ourselves to – during this magical time of releasing what was – into what is yet to be?”
The overall focus of the series will be to explore aging as a time of release, and renewed growth, with deeper intention.
Choose from 2 types of registration:
General Admission at $36 per person or Admission Plus at $66 per person (Admission Plus registrations help us underwrite the cost of this and other events)
