The Gift of Belonging to an Elder Circle…from an Elder Circle Leader:

When you are in a group, would you like an opportunity to share with others those things you are worried about as you enter into your elder years? Are you the kind of person who finds it hard to enter a conversation? Are you afraid of what people will think of what you have to say? Here is an opportunity to enter into a circle of elders, an opportunity to speak of your worries and concerns without being judged, without being fixed, simply to be heard, to be given a voice that you may think you do not have. Your Elder Circle Leader will provide that safe environment for the group. They will give you the space, the time, and, in addition to that, your group would be there to listen, to pray, and to bless you, for being present, for being who you are and not for who you should be, or not for who you might be, but simply for who you are.  The group members become a listening ear, a welcoming heart, and offer an encouraging demeanor.
