Elder Circles

The Wisdom Journey

A safe respectful place for harvesting your life. Elders meeting to dialogue ways to move from age-ing to sage-ing: to move from older to elder; to move into aging as the fulfillment of life.

Becoming an elder is a process best practiced over a period of time, hopefully with the support of a like-minded community of wisdomkeepers

Elder Circles around the country include the wisdom seeking of life review, coming to terms with your mortality, life repair, re-contextualizing sad experiences, embracing your legacy, what you have contributed, and mentoring - passing on wisdom.

Become a Sage/elder...guide, mentor, agent of healing & reconciliation...on behalf of the planet, the nation, and the family through elder wisdom.

We were very pleased to see our Elder Circle announcement get picked up by Google's alerts on conscious aging!!!
