Overview of Eldering Programs

Eldering focuses on rethinking our relationships and our place in society, on creating purpose and meaning, and discovering where we can be of service.

Our Eldering programs focus on creating new stories about what is possible for us at any age and what it means to grow older. Through guided explorations and authentic conversations, participants focus on building relationships across generations and collectively creating a future that works for everyone—young and old alike—a world in which everyone can experience being heard, recognized as having something important to contribute, and valued for who they are. People of any age use our powerful communication tools to share their wisdom with others and make a difference in the world…one conversation at a time.

PASSING THE TORCH

A three-day program for developing emerging leaders

This program is for organizations committed to developing promising executives and managers as responsible ‘servant leaders’. To maximize the learning experience for participants, it is recommended that companies register at least one senior executive for every two ‘emerging leaders’. The curriculum moves beyond mentoring (which is usually unstructured or based on transferring information and ‘tips’) to engage senior leaders in transferring their perspectives, insights and competencies—the best of ‘who they are’—to their younger colleagues through coaching and collaboration. This program is offered by Paracomm Partners International.  more >

"If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place."
