Learning to Become Wise Elders at Any Age

Eldership is a role all of us can inhabit regardless of age. Eldership qualities are grounded in timeless human virtues such as a non-judgmental attitude, patience, presence, deep listening, non-polarizing language, and curiosity towards the known and unknown. 

We facilitate the study of eldership, the ability to listen to our inner voice, the inner wise elder. If we can slow down enough, be present, we can hear our ‘inner elder’. In so doing, we hope to explore the question, “What is a life worth living?” We propose growing into an aware elder, not just an older person. 

Wise Elders are more important than ever as listeners and guides for our communities who search for pathways to many of today’s social and planetary challenges.  

Eldership affords us the opportunity for a more joyous approach to living and aging.
