“May our journey through the eight gates of initiation liberate us from the disparaging stereotypes of aging, and light a new path for future generations. May we be the ones to reclaim and model the dignity, grace, and authentic power that true elderhood confers. May our conscious legacies and wise stewardship make the world a better place.”

“My hope for us is that our journey through the mysteries of the second half of life will provide a meaningful retrospective and compelling incentive to embrace elderhood with dignity, grace, wisdom, and unlimited generativity. May we all remember that to leave the world a better place for future generations is to have lived a meaningful life, and to have succeeded.”
