The Inner Life: Spiritual Practices That Bring Peace in Later Years

 There comes a point in later life when the outer world quiets down enough to hear the inner one more clearly. For many men, retirement marks exactly that moment — a chance to explore questions of meaning, purpose, and connection that decades of busy living kept at arm's length. In this episode, we look at spiritual practices that genuinely make a difference for seniors: not just formal religion, though that belongs here too, but the full range of practices — meditation, prayer, time in nature, creative expression, and community — that research shows can reduce anxiety, improve health, and restore a sense of purpose at any age.
