Emerging Elders

Seeding wisdom for the future

Emerging Elders is an affiliation of organisations and individuals committed to reawakening eldership at home, work and in communities.

It does this through its passion to create a movement of a conversation about eldering, through writing, speaking, podcasts, retreats and creativity.

"The tragedy of the West is that when the game changes in the second half of life, we don't know what to do"

Bernado Kastrup, Dutch philosopher

Why Emerging Elders?

What do we offer?

Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.

Some questions to ask yourself

  • What does the word ‘elder’ mean to you?

  • Do you see elders as having a relevance to todays society?

  • Why do you think some people get older, but don’t become elders?

  • How could we help youth to aspire to become elders as they mature?
