Elder Speak A Journey To Wisdom
The Elder Speak Journey
Find Meaning and Value in Elderhood
Each Elder’s Personal Journey is a process of discovery. Facilitators guide small groups of Elders through a transformative 10 month program that allows them to discover and embrace the wisdom of their unique life experiences. They find their value and their place in the world as an Elder.
The Elder Speak Community Event is a production held at the Snowy Owl Theater and Wenatchee Valley Museum as a celebration and summation of the 10 month journey the Elders have taken.
Typically, the event includes a short video created by high school students containing their interviews with the Elders. Following the film, each Elder presents a wisdom statement and the significant life experience from which it came. Near the end of the event, a question and answer period is offered.
“Elder Speak is looking at yourself, analyzing what’s important in your life, it’s value. We (the Elders) know each other better than if we just met for a cup of tea. ”
