Episode 103: Conscious Eldering with Ron Pevny

These days, getting older seems to be more like a war rather than a rite of passage. "Take this pill or this potion to reverse aging and stay young," they say. But is that really how we should view aging? We question this and more in this episode, where I welcome Ron Pevny, the director of the Center for Conscious Eldering and author of Conscious Living, Conscious Aging: Capturing The Gifts of Elderhood.

In our conversation, we discuss the following:

  • What is 'conscious eldering,' an approach to aging with purpose, passion, and well-being, and how it contrasts with societal norms that often lack an empowering vision for aging.
  • Ron shares his journey, starting in 1979 with a calling to help people during life transitions, evolving into leading rites of passage and founding the Center for Conscious Eldering in 2010.
  • The concept emphasizes intentionality, personal growth, and community, offering retreats and workshops to prepare people for a fulfilled elderhood.
  • Ron highlights the loss of meaningful roles for elders in industrialized societies and the importance of life review to let go of past baggage.
  • Ron underscores the significance of having purpose in maintaining physical and mental health as one ages.
  • This was a heartwarming conversation and made me think deeply about my own desires for later life and those for my loved ones.
