Healing Our “Generational Legacy”
May 20 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Sponsored by Sage-ing International and EAN
Tuesday, May 20
10:00 am – 12:00 pm PT / 1:00 – 3:00 pm ET
An Elder is a person who deserves respect and honor, and whose work is to synthesize wisdom from long life experience and formulate this into a legacy for future generations.
–The Live Oak Project, Debbie and Barry Barkan
For many of us in our 60s, 70s, and 80s, the state of the world causes us great concern. Whether it be climate change, democracy, growing inequity, or any number of issues, this is not the world we want for those we love – yet this is our “generational legacy” – a world that is in crises.
As individuals, we are likely engaging in our individual practices and reflections as we become elders, harvest our lives, create our legacies, mentor others, and more. But how do we go forth acknowledging the concerns of our “generational legacy?”
In this webinar, we will apply Joanna Macy’s teachings of “Active Hope” as a process that we can use when hope feels elusive. Honoring our concerns, we will acknowledge what is true in our world, explore our resilience, and discover the power of constructive, collaborative action as we go forward into the future.
Facilitated by Lynne Iser and Rabbi Mordechai Lieblin.
