Now Available - The Elder’s Edge Podcast

The Contemporary Elder Institute is pleased to announce that the first episode of The Elder’s Edge podcast is now available featuring Ed Sancious. Ed is a member of the Elder Council, a Zen Buddhist, Artist & Poet Seeing.
 
The Elder’s Edge podcast is for those now at the edge of late aging who intend to be highly conscious and decidedly self-determined as they encounter getting old and the end of their lives. Your past wins, losses, and former personae, who you have always considered yourself to be, are no longer valid when you push off from this edge. Now what? These podcasts make the edge your center. For those ready to jump.
