ehi inner Elder

---

This program given by the Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) will provide presentations and workshops that focus on inner growth and wisdom that accumulates throughout life and can be tapped into regardless of actual age. Inner elderhood is an ongoing process and these presentations will highlight how our inner world can continue to meet the outer world in a fruitful way.
