Aging, Acceptance and Attunement:
Welcome to The IAAP Global Attunement Conference.
IAAP hosts bi-monthly conferences open to all who are interested. Each conference has a specific topic and is hosted and focused by one or more Attunement Practitioners. This recording features the presentation portion of the Conference call.
The topic of this call was “Aging, Acceptance and Attunement”, focused by Erin Rivers, Paul Price, Joyce Ellenbecker, Davina Misroch, and Heather Rischar.
The Conference schedule is posted on the IAAP calendar of events, and each post includes the registration info. Please feel free to join in as you are able – these discussions generate a wonderful range of fine spiritual substance. As the Attunement Community, we share a common ground with others who love what we love, and as we nourish the world around us then we are nourished. The Attunement Community meets in this place of sanctuary. We hope you enjoy this conference recording.
Introduction
I was sent this beautiful poem in response to our offering and I thought I would share it out with the larger group:
There comes a quiet season in life
where you stop trying to impress everyone
and start trying to be at peace.
You stop rushing.
You stop forcing.
You stop explaining yourself to people who were never truly listening.
You learn that slow mornings are not laziness —
they’re healing.
And early evenings are not boredom —
they’re peace you spent decades earning.
Growing older isn’t about fading.
It’s about finally seeing clearly.
You start noticing the softness in things you used to overlook:
• the way sunlight warms the kitchen tiles
• the comfort of a familiar chair
• the peace of breathing slowly
• the joy of doing nothing but existing
You no longer need loud rooms or big circles.
A few real people — or even just your own company — is more than enough.
And somewhere between all the birthdays and all the heartbreaks,
you gain a quiet kind of wisdom:
The kind that isn’t loud,
isn’t showy,
isn’t trying to prove anything.
Just… lived.
You realize you’ve survived every single day you thought you couldn’t.
You’ve learned more from silence than applause.
You’ve grown softer, not weaker.
Kinder, not smaller.
Wiser, not tired.
And maybe — just maybe —
this is what beauty truly looks like:
A life that learned to bloom slowly.
A heart that stayed gentle in a sharp world.
A soul that finally understands its own worth.
Growing older isn’t a burden.
It’s a blessing hidden inside ordinary days.
A gift you only recognize once you’ve carried enough years
to understand what really matters.
Thank you Christine!
This video summary of the IAAP Conference was a blessing to share. Thank you Erin for making it available.
I particularly resonate with Paul’s words, being up there in years with him. I’m on hormone therapy for cancer. It blocks testosterone from feeding the cancer in my lungs. I’m very thankful for it even though my field of service has been in the natural healthcare arena, There’s nothing more natural than wanting to live on this beautiful planet with so many friends as long as possible. And, by the way, the Spirit of the New Earth is still very present and active without testosterone being fully utilized in my body temple! I’m very thankful for the Attunement care Paul and others share with me. What a blessing we’ve given through Uranda by the Lord! Blessings to one and all as we continue together in Attunement with Love and with one another.
