What is Wisdom and Hope for the Next Seven Generations?

It’s no secret that we’re living in a time of great change and upheaval. In response to a widespread common experience of bewilderment and disillusionment, we seek to provide a platform for Elders from all spiritual traditions and cultural backgrounds to speak publicly to a diverse and hungry audience. Our intention is to help empower our communities to create a healthy and beautiful future. By gathering in person and through Zoom to listen to our Elders we support coming generations in the work of creating a sustainable future.
