NBCLC Bangalore served as a haven for personal and professional growth, hosting two distinct yet equally impactful programs. From April 9th to 13th, 2024, the "Mid-Life: Embracing the Past & Nurturing the Future" seminar provided a compassionate space for 13 religious women to navigate the complexities of midlife transitions. Led by the insightful Fr. Gabriel Mathias OFM, the seminar addressed the multifaceted challenges of this life stage, including career adjustments, evolving relationships, shifting identities, health and wellness, and future planning.



The seminar transcended mere theoretical discussions, fostering a deeply personal and reflective experience. Participants engaged in journaling, allowing them to process their experiences and gain clarity. Networking opportunities facilitated the sharing of wisdom and mutual support, creating a sense of community. Practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges were provided, empowering the participants to navigate their journeys with resilience and grace. The seminar's overarching goal was to offer spiritual guidance and practical strategies for embracing midlife as a period of renewed growth and purpose. Participants expressed profound gratitude for the supportive and nurturing environment, which allowed them to embark on a path of self-discovery and renewal.
