<big>'''As we learn the inner work of age, we discover psychological and spiritual practices that address the timeless question: Who am I?'''</big>
[[File:HR Presenters Day 570.png|thumb|815x815px]]
We deepen our self-knowledge and reimagine age for ourselves, eventually shifting from denial to awareness, from self-rejection to self-acceptance, from obligation to flow, from holding on to letting go. Even from role to soul.

This is the deeper dimension of age, the universal inner journey of human development or expanding awareness, which includes the unfolding of our authenticity and authority, and even the unfolding of spiritual awakening or advanced stages of consciousness, which are described in every religious and spiritual tradition as the purpose of late life.

This expansion of awareness in this stage of life is not about what we do or don’t do: more work and more volunteering or less work and less volunteering. Rather, it’s about ''how'' we do it: the internal state of mind that arises as we shift our identity from what we do to who we are—from role to soul. And, for some, this deepening identification with our spiritual nature can expand to non-dual awareness, the direct experience of the interconnectedness of all living things. This spiritual purpose of age will be addressed by spiritual Elders from diverse traditions.
