An Elder is a person who deserves respect and honor, and whose work is to synthesize wisdom from long life experience and formulate this into a legacy for future generations. The Live Oak Project, Debbie and Barry Barkan

For many of us in our 60s, 70s and 80s the state of the world causes us great concern. Whether it be climate change, democracy, growing inequity, or any number of issues – this is not the world we want for those we love – yet this is our generational legacy.

As individuals we are likely engaging in our individual practices and reflections to become elders and create our legacies, mentor others, etc. But what of our generational legacy?

In this webinar, we will apply Joanna Macy’s teachings of “Active Hope,” to look at our despair and concerns, discern the future we want for those we love, and discover the power of constructive, collaborative action.
