Topics for Discharge for Elders
After attending the RC Older Women’s West Coast USA Workshop, I compiled the following list of topics for discharge. (I think both older men and older women will find it useful to discharge on these topics.)
- Our leadership inside and outside of RC
- Building support networks inside and outside of RC
- Fighting to keep our minds
- Taking charge of our bodies and health as we age
- Discharging on death and dying
- Finding joy as elders
- What spirituality looks like as we become elders
- Staying strong and fit
- Economic exploitation and poverty
- Sex
- “Mental health”
- Class
- Disabilities
- Living zestfully in the face of the climate crisis
- Being grandmothers (and grandfathers)—forging a good role
- The effects of the beautification (and “handsomeness”) industries
- Fighting for ourselves
- Sexual exploitation
- Sexism in our close relationships
