Every experience of Connie’s spiritual leadership has blessed me, from personal connections to Ecotherapy training to her Spirituality of Aging workshop for the School for Contemplative Living. Connie will bless you with her unique mixture of depth, curiosity, playfulness, and wisdom for living.

~ Willam Thiele, PhD, Author & Founder – School for Contemplative Living

I thoroughly enjoyed my Sacred Path of Aging as I gracefully learned to not fear, but accept aging is the process of life. Connie Habash is a strong and skilled facilitator to the Sacred aging process. In some of the most gentle ways Connie can teach, she impressed the journey is preparing me for something greater to come. I not only trust in the process but, believe in the process daily.
