In this time when we have more old people on the planet than ever before - but fewer Elders, Dr. Sally Z. Hare wants to connect soul and role as Elder - and encourage others to do the same. She understands now that Elder is not about being old - but rather about a life of integrity and wholeness and meaning. As she has discovered that she should have begun that work long before her seventh decade, she is reaching out to others of all ages who resonate with the idea of becoming an Elder as the journey of a lifetime. Sally is a lifelong teacher and learner, feminist and activist, and a passionate steward of the planet. She is a Coastal Carolina University Singleton Distinguished Professor Emerita.
