Elders Circle

Particularly at this time of urgent and intersecting crises, the need for wise and caring elders has never been greater

We work to empower Elders to claim a meaningful role in society and support younger generations as they build community and strengthen resilience in the face of profound challenges.

The SPEC Elders Circle offers a space and process that encourages deep reflection, personal connection, and intimate discussion to foster the emergence and sharing of this wisdom.

Current Projects

Past Projects

Salons

Elders Circle Salons feature topics of interest to engaged elders and opportunities for deep reflection, personal connection, and intimate discussion. At each Elders Circle salon, elders and youngers gather to connect, explore, and grow.

Mutual Mentoring

There is a buzz of interest growing between elders and ‘youngers’ about how we can share our diverse skills, knowledge, and wisdom through intergenerational relations. Mutual mentoring is a way for people of different ages to connect and grow together into more diverse personal relationships, and ultimately, stronger communities.

Earth Treasure Vase

A global healing practice dedicated to bringing healing and protection to the regions where the vases are planted.
