Re: Meeting ope to all Sept. 22md.  Helping set up a Elder's Circle.  All
ages welcome!! Supper provided.  At Kits Neighbourhood house.

*SPEC Elders Circle - Reclaiming Elder Wisdom*

*Bringing Forth Elder Wisdom*

Join us and other engaged elders as we explore the many qualities of Elder
Wisdom. Why is this important? Our planet faces numerous crises. Seniors
are a living reservoir of experience, knowledge and skills. However, that
role has been minimized in society and relinquished by seniors. This is a
huge loss for all.

*Why should you come?* The SPEC Elders Circle is offering a space and
process that encourages deep reflection, personal connection and intimate
discussion to foster the emergence of this wisdom.

Please join us at our *September 22 event “Bringing Forth Elder Wisdom”* at
Kitsilano Neighbourhood House, 2305 West 7th Avenue between 5.30-8.30pm.
Everyone is welcome. Light Supper provided.

Please *RSVP* at spec.bc.ca/events <http://www.spec.bc.ca/events>.

For more information please contact Project Coordinator Richard Drake at
604-499-5045, or elders at spec.bc.ca
