The ElderGarten

A Field Guide for the Journey of a Lifetime

Beschreibung

The ElderGarten: A Field Guide for the Journey of a Lifetime is author Sally Z. Hare's invitation to you to join her in becoming what the planet most needs now: Elders. There are more old people than ever on the planet - but fewer Elders, and there has never been a time that wisdom and leadership and integrity are more needed. This non-linear journey of a lifetime begins early in life - and invites us into becoming fully who we are and to use our gifts in service of the planet. Elder is not about age, but about the time of Life when one's hidden wholeness becomes visible. Elder means to live with integrity, undivided between the inner Self and the outer world: soul and role are connected in a seamless flow. The journey requires resilience and commitment - and Sally shares the practice she has discovered to build that strength. Sally envisions The ElderGarten as the field for learning to be an Elder. She knows that books are the thin places that invite her into the space between the real and the imaginal, so why not a field guide that shows the way to The ElderGarten?

In this time when we have more old people on the planet than ever before - but fewer Elders, Dr. Sally Z. Hare wants to connect soul and role as Elder - and encourage others to do the same. She understands now that Elder is not about being old - but rather about a life of integrity and wholeness and meaning. As she has discovered that she should have begun that work long before her seventh decade, she is reaching out to others of all ages who resonate with the idea of becoming an Elder as the journey of a lifetime. Sally is a lifelong teacher and learner, feminist and activist, and a passionate steward of the planet. She has worked with Parker J. Palmer for more than 30 years and credits Parker with being part of the reason she loves her life. The other reasons are her husband Jim and her dog Hope and her ocean and being a reader. She is the Coastal Carolina University Singleton Distinguished Professor Emerita and president of still learning, inc. She served for more than a decade as Dean of the Graduate School at Coastal. With a Ph. D. from the University of South Carolina Sally is Singleton Professor Emerita and a student of community. That was highlighted for her during a three-year Kellogg National Fellowship in the early 1990's which gave her the opportunity to explore the concept of community across cultures and countries, including Bali, Greece, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Senegal, Benin, and much of the United States and Canada. Now, coming full circle, she recently served as advisor to the most recent Kellogg National Fellows.
