The Forum on Religion, Spirituality and Aging (FORSA) constitutes a national, multidisciplinary and nondenominational community of professionals committed to examining and fostering the spiritual dimension of human existence as a central element in the aging process and to fostering an appreciation for the importance of incorporating an awareness of this dimension into all the disciplines that make up the fascinating world of gerontology.
Some members come at the topic from traditional faith perspectives and are active in various churches, synagogues and mosques, while others approach the issues from the perspective of "mindful" or "conscious" aging. Whatever your particular perspective, you are welcome to become part of the dialogue of a most worthwhile and welcoming professional society.
