Going Deeper: Spiritual Practices That Bring Peace and Purpose to Senior Men

Retirement removes the structures that once organized life — the schedule, the role, the identity — and in that open space, questions of meaning and purpose tend to surface with new urgency. For senior men, spiritual practices offer one of the most reliable paths through that territory. Not necessarily through organized religion, though that works for many, but through any disciplined practice that connects you to something larger than yourself: meditation, prayer, contemplation, time in nature, journaling, or service. In this episode, we explore the practices that cultivate genuine peace and purpose in later life and offer a practical guide for building them into your days.
