Harnessing your experience, achievement, and innate wisdom
Creating Your Living Legacy

Welcome to the Wise Elders Legacy CircleTM, a gathering of experienced and insightful men aged 50 (from midlife and older) and greater. In this communal space we will share the wisdom we carry, our life experiences, and support each other on our life journeys.

Let’s not grow old, let’s grow WHOLE!

Are you:

  • Longing for a supportive community of like-minded Wise Elders?
  • Frustrated with the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle?
  • Worried about staying mentally sharp and focused?
  • Missing out on activities you enjoy?
  • Looking to engage in meaningful discussions and explorations?

This is for you if you are:

  • Inspired to explore and maximize your next chapter.
  • Reflecting on your lifetime of experience for harvesting and leveraging your wisdom.
  • Ready to dive into what matters most and explore what’s next….no more defining yourself only by your career.
  • Experiencing a major life transition and would benefit from support and new perspectives.

Together, we will foster meaningful connections, engage in enriching discussions, and continue to grow during this time for our 2nd half of life.

Let’s focus on being BOLDER not OLDER,
and moving from ROLE to SOUL

As a group of MEN in MIDLIFE and beyond, we will meet for 10 weeks.

Together, we will gather around a metaphorical campfire as tribal cultures have done for eons. This was a rich time for storytelling, personal sharing of triumphs and challenges, and where tribal elders were honored.

The idea for this program was birthed out of my experience in 2007, on a three-week walking safari with ten men in Tanzania, led by Richard Leider, who is one of my most inspiring mentors.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. ― Rainer Maria Rilke
