Vision
Our vision is rooted in the legacy of our ancestors. Throughout history, in traditional cultures worldwide, elders shared their wisdom, vision, and earth keeping. Elders taught each new generation how to care for its people, Earth and all species. That heritage sustained life---up to now. Today, however, we no longer care for Earth in ways that assure life for future generations.
The challenge for today's elders, and for all of us, is to transform our way of living on Earth. Given man's devastation to the ecosystem and the world's growing population, we must find ways to fulfill basic human needs with integrity and in balance with nature.
The Earth needs its elders. Now is the time for midlife and older persons to reclaim their sacred heritage; to become conscious, caring and wise 21st century elders. Now is the time for people, of all ages, to become compassionate earthkeepers for our children, grandchildren, and the children's children.
