For a time such as this...

In the lineage of Richard Rohr, Joanna Macy, Belden Lane, Thich Nhat Hanh, Meister Eckhart, Sobonfu Somé, Dorothy Day, Mary Oliver, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and more, this five day intensive, guides mature adults over the threshold into spiritually grounded elderhood.

The young ones are crying out for robust loving elders. Answer the call of the world and the call of your own life, sounding as one voice to come.

This was one of the most formative experiences of my whole life. I LOVED it.

Belden Lane, St. Louis, MO

An unexpectedly compelling experience of communal eldering; mind, heart and body fully engaged and a felt sense of being commissioned, just as I am, to elder.

Brian Sullivan, Vancouver, BC

A peak experience.

Thérèse Charvet, Bainbridge, WA

Doing the EROP with my wife helped us find commonality, shared purpose, and a heightened capacity for joy

Peter Wood, Lansing MI

A beautiful experience. An amazing, unexpected journey...that grows in its richness each of the days that have followed...

Margaret Mitchell, Shepherds Village, WV

Delivered more than I could have ever anticipated--I am deeply grateful!

Ky Prevette, Graeagle, CA

Transformed me: elderhood is sacred. Aging is human. Now I see a path for both. A possibility of inherent wisdom to step into.
