FIRST DAY
What a joy! What a grace! What a rare, happy feeling to participate in this GRACE – filled moment-to pursue our own ageing gracefully. 
We began this awesome seminar yesterday the 20th of November at 10:30 a.m. Fr. Dudley Mendonca has led us through yesterday making us aware of ‘need to heal ourselves and the ‘value of healing our psychological woundedness!!’ He further states: ‘AGING is a gift for having lived a balanced life!’ You may ask: What is the love/heart of healing? Yes, we need to heal ourselves of our own anxiety! 
What are the unhealthy ways that emerge because of my anxiety! Once I have dealt with my anxiety, then I’ll be more genteel, gentle with others! What’s causing so much sickness and stress – stress is nothing but a manifestation of anxiety. Heal anxiety and stress will lower! As women, we are meant to be ‘feeling persons’. As I read this on blog can I get in touch with my feelings??The psycho-spiritual blend needs to happen and this beautifully happens in God’s Good time! Another inspirational session was: UNDERSTANDING YOUR FAMILY through the GENOGRAM or FAMILY TREE He invited us to construct our Family Genogram…Through this our Dad…our Mum…our siblings take centre stage!! Wow! We invite you too, to join us and do likewise!! He then went even deeper and called us to ‘HEAL OUR FAMILY TREE!!’ When we heal OUR FAMILY TREE we are healed!! TRUST IS THE SALT OF LOVE
2ND DAY
Healing the Pain of Everyday Life
On the 21st of November 2017, the second day of the seminar on ‘Ageing Gracefully’, the participants numbering 23, ventured into the world of affect-fact association under the able guidance of Rev. Fr. Dudley Mendonca sj.
This world exploded the Psychic energy that can help heal wounds one was carrying from childhood mirroring parental traits. It is a process that goes down to the family tree in order to discover our tainted nature. This process of cleansing helps in awakening the Psycho-spirituality bringing about a rendezvous with one’s inner self and the God within. It is a journey worth taking to enrich the qualitative fabric of one’s life making life worth living for Self and Others.
THIRD DAY
Well, on the morning of the third Day the sun shone warmly, on the good and the bad, in Lonavala! We, the Grown-ups too, warmed up eager to know more about the adventure of life, thanks to Fr. Dudley Mendonca SJ.
One of the interesting and enlightening sessions was: A Compassionate Heart that is enabling Healing of the Affectual Sequence in Self and Others”. Another was, “Importance of experiencing Affects in the body, which leads to ‘re-learning or change in maladaptive & dysfunctional speech and behaviour patterns’.” We moved on gradually from the “Complex to Fact and Affect to N.C.D. (Naming, Claiming, Draining) Procedure – I would say, the core of the Seminar – which will lead us to small miracles, thus building up one’s spirituality, ‘letting go’ of the hurts and fears and ‘letting God’ emerge through us, thereby growing in health and faith.
And Evening came with a bonus: “Tuesdays with Morrie” – a must-view film, teaching us essential lessons of life.
