growing into his personal power. Intergenerational collaboration
such as we have requires a bridge built of shared values, love, mutual respect, trust and support. I am in awe of Ocean, who doesn’t just stand on my shoulders; he flies from them as a courageous humanitarian responsive to the needs our times, as well as be- ing a wonderful father himself.
How do your workshops help both elders and youths bridge the gap between the generations?
We use creative, thoughtful activi- ties that build heart-filled community. Basically, we create space for learn- ing how each life stage brings its own gifts, challenges and valuable per- spectives. We learn to recognize that we need each other, across the age spectrum, to grow, heal, have fun and create thriving lives and communities. Our children and grandchil- dren come into the world carrying the seeds of the future. They come endowed with new possibilities, new understandings and new ener- gies. If as elders we wisely support them with the respect and assistance younger people deserve, they can ac- complish things we cannot. They may be able to correct the errors of past generations, including our own. Then our children will not only be free to be themselves, they will bring a new breath of life into the world. a
