For a time such as this...

In the lineage of Richard Rohr, Joanna Macy, Belden Lane, Thich Nhat Hanh, Meister Eckhart, Sobonfu Somé, Dorothy Day, Mary Oliver, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and more, this five day intensive, guides mature adults over the threshold into spiritually grounded elderhood.

The young ones are crying out for robust loving elders. Answer the call of the world and the call of your own life, sounding as one voice to come.

This was one of the most formative experiences of my whole life. I LOVED it.

Belden Lane, St. Louis, MO

An unexpectedly compelling experience of communal eldering; mind, heart and body fully engaged and a felt sense of being commissioned, just as I am, to elder.

Brian Sullivan, Vancouver, BC

A peak experience.

Thérèse Charvet, Bainbridge, WA

Elders' Rites of Passage® is the overarching brand for several offerings, including the EROP™ retreat and the EROP™ Journey. The EROP™ retreat is a five day intensive rite of passage for folk entering or deepening their journey into elderhood. The EROP™ Journey is a virtual companion course to the retreat offered over a period of months that prepares folk for and helps folk integrate after the transition into elderhood.
