概要

 Episode Overview In a culture obsessed with youth, are elders still relevant — or more necessary than ever? Across traditional societies, elders were honored as wisdom keepers and guides. Yet in modern Western culture, aging is often equated with retirement, retreat, and irrelevance. What if this moment in history calls for something radically different? In this powerful episode of The Way Forward: Regenerative Conversations, Dr. John Izzo, Jim Burke, Diana Shoemaker, and Alain Gauthier explore the rise of the Regenerative Elder — blending inner transformation with outer activism to serve future generations. A Regenerative Elder is someone who consciously integrates inner growth, community wisdom, and courageous action to help regenerate society, democracy, and the living Earth for future generations. Together, through the work of Elders Action Network (EAN) and its educational and activist initiatives — including Elders Rising — they examine how elders can move from retirement to regeneration and become a vital force for societal renewal. Whatever your age, this conversation may transform how you see aging, leadership, activism, and the future itself. 🌱 The Role of Elders Action Network This episode highlights the unique role of Elders Action Network, a national organization committed to combining inner development with meaningful civic engagement. Unlike many organizations that focus solely on activism, EAN integrates personal reflection, worldview transformation, and community-building with action in climate, democracy, and regenerative living. A special focus in this episode is Elders Rising, the emerging educational and community hub within EAN. Elders Rising serves as an entry point for elders seeking: A deeper exploration of purposeCommunity with like-minded eldersTraining for regenerative leadershipTools for activism rooted in reflectionIntergenerational collaboration Elders Rising centers and connects EAN’s programs — including the Regenerative Elder Process, Resilience & Acceptance, Future Design, and Exploring Elderhood — into a coherent pathway for elder transformation and contribution. ⏱ Episode Chapters 00:00 Introduction – The Role of Elders in Modern Society 01:09 John’s Experience with Elders in Tanzania 02:42 Introducing the Elders Action Network 04:25 Why Elder Activism Matters Now 05:42 EAN: Purpose and Practice 13:43 The Regenerative Elder Process (REP) 20:17 Upcoming Courses & Community Engagement through Elders Rising 24:38 Why Elder Cohorts Matter 27:21 Community & Belonging in Later Life 28:14 Elders Taking Action Locally 30:33 Intergenerational Collaboration & Future Design 31:54 Elders, History & Patriotism 33:37 Education, Resilience & Sacred Activism 36:19 Rebuilding Community & Cooperation 46:41 How to Get Involved with Elders Action Network 50:41 Final Reflections & Encouragement 🌱 How to Get Involved with Elders Action Network & Elders Rising If this conversation speaks to you, here are ways to engage through Elders Action Network and Elders Rising: Join a Climate or Sound Democracy action teamParticipate in the Regenerative Elder Process (REP)Begin your journey with Exploring ElderhoodJoin the Resilience & Acceptance (RA) communityParticipate in the EAN Book ClubVolunteer in a leadership roleSupport intergenerational initiatives through Future Design EAN operates through volunteer leadership and community engagement — elders are not just participants, but co-creators of the work. 🔗 Resources & Links Dr. John Izzo’s TEDx Talk (Boomers & Legacy) The Defining Moment for a Generation-In-Waiting: Dr. John Izzo at TEDxVancouver Elders Action Network (EAN) https://eldersaction.org/ Elders Rising https://eldersaction.org/elders-rising/ Regenerative Elder Process (REP) https://eldersaction.org/regenerative-elder-process/ Future Design Program Future Design Intergenerational Workshop - Session 1 of 3 — Elders Action Network Podcast Episode on Future Design 👉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Bbsu-Ph-R0 Resilience & Acceptance (RA) Resilience & Acceptance in the Face of Collapse — Elders Action Network EAN Book Club & Programs Book Study Group — Elders Action Network Exploring Elderhood Course Exploring Elderhood — Elders Action Network 👥 About Our Guests Dr. John Izzo Leadership expert, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker.
