Discover the Journey to Elderhood
Becoming an Elder isn’t about age – it’s about awakening.
It’s the slow, deliberate work of remembering who we are beneath the noise of the world. It asks us to pause long enough to feel the pulse of life again, to root ourselves in love, and to choose responsibility over convenience. The path of the Elder calls us to unlearn what the modern world has taught us, to tend the inner garden of our souls, and to rise in service to life itself.
This work happens on many layers — within us, around us, and between us. It’s not something to achieve, but something to live. The following map outlines what we need to stop doing, start doing, and nurture – in our inner world, our relationship with nature, and our shared human story – as we learn to walk the path of the Elders.

(This, as with all Elder work, is a work in progress as I sift through what I feel is most needed in the world right now. Do keep returning to see what’s new and do let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see or that I could add to our collective wisdom and expansion.)
