Elders Rites of Passage
Raising up Elders for the Good of the World
Extending the original Men’s Rites of Passage, this five day intensive guides mature adults over the threshold into spiritually grounded elderhood. Join others in a similar life stage and answer the call of the world—and the call of your own life.
Support the younger generation by becoming a generative, grounded, and loving elder.
Will you answer the call and awaken to your role as a generative elder?
“This was one of the most formative experiences of my whole life. I loved it.” —Belden Lane, St. Louis, MO
“Doing the EROP with my wife helped us find commonality, shared purpose, and a heightened capacity for joy.” —Peter Wood, Lansing MI

“Transformed me: elderhood is sacred. Aging is human. Now I see a path for both. A possibility of inherent wisdom to step into.”
Marie Nishida, Redmond, WA
