Oldering to Eldering with Wilderness Torah
If you are interested in an outstanding program in Conscious Eldering in a Jewish key, offered by Wilderness Torah - our neighboring congregation
please click HERE
This program is for people aged 64+ who want to explore their identity as an elder and reflect on what to do with “this one precious life” during their next phase of life. We believe there is a difference between being old or elderly, and being an elder—a role of continuing personal growth and service to one’s community. In this program, we hope to support you to find ways to fulfill your potential in this stage of life. It is for people who identify as Jewish or are connected to Jewish life and want a program in a Jewish context.
Older To Elder will explore the inner work that prepares people to fully embrace elderhood so they can become the elders whose wisdom and gifts are so urgently needed now. We will also focus on the vital role elders can serve in our communities, especially in partnership of generations, supporting the growth, aspirations and gifts of youngers.
We aim to create a safe, supportive, and respectful environment in which participants can risk feeling vulnerable, enabling them to experience and share deeply.
We recently completed the first Older to Elder program, which was a resounding success! What we learned from the first cohort helped us make many program improvements, and we look forward to welcoming you into the next round.
The 50th Anniversary Celebration has no Expiration Date !!
