What if the final decades of life weren't a decline, but a summit? Reclaiming the Unlived Life gathers elders, teachers, and seekers to reimagine what it means to grow old — not as a slow exit, but as a season of radical living, hard-won completion, and real power. Together we'll explore what becomes possible in the eldering years, learn from those already living this truth, and build the community and practical tools to carry it forward. This is not a symposium about aging. It's a symposium about what's still possible — and about the unity our fractured world needs elders to model.

Reclaiming the Unlived Life will:

Illuminate the final decades of life — including a bold new look at the 80s and beyond— as a landscape of radical living, completion, and power, not decline
Explore what becomes possible in this stage: concrete inspiration for what elders might yet do, build, or become
Unpack practical, actionable tools for engaged elderhood — addressing the isolation so many elders carry, and replacing that with the knowledge that they are not alone
Lift up the living example of elders already embodying this radical eldering, and the unity across difference the world urgently needs them to model
Build community, connection, and intentional intergenerational transmission — elders passing leadership forward with wisdom, in networks that carry the work beyond the event itself
