Mar 8: Elders' Guild (Berkeley, CA)
The Elders' Guild is a grass-roots organization that is creating a bold new vision to help us prepare forcommunity, activism and deep life-long learning for the rest of our lives.
Our vision is a world in which empowered and conscious elders join together in common purpose to bring healing,joy and connection to our lives, our families, our communities and theworld. Our mission is to create the communities where we re-imagine our old age,look after one another and embody the wisdom that will enable us to help heal the future. Our goal is to help us prepare for a meaningful role as elders in society even though we have been conditioned to expect diminished strength and capacity. Everyone is welcome to participate.
We ended 2008 with three strong workshops focussing on each of of our three Elders' Guild Foundations: Community, Wisdom and Championing the Future. At our last regular Sunday afternoon gathering in November, there was a strong feeling that we should meet at least twice a month. So we've arranged to add a second gathering in January and each month hereafter.
The Elders' Guild is Multi-Generational and Multi-Cultural.
