Key Takeaways Wilderness vision quests and rites of passage are key elements of conscious aging. Tapping into the power of nature helps people move through life transitions world and open hearts and minds. Conscious eldering goes a step beyond “positive aging,” “active aging” and “successful aging” by focusing on later life as the pinnacle of emotional and spiritual growth. It is about doing “inner work” and creating a full of pleasure and a sense of purpose. Elders provide the wisdom the word urgently needs now, but many think they lose their purpose and ability to contribute meaningfully after retirement. There's a need deep in all human beings to leave a legacy. Legacy is the mark we have made on the world and how we have touched people's lives.

And that means retirement is starting to look a whole lot different.

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. About Ron Pevny

No one likes the thought of getting old.Your body starts to break down… becomes more fragile, a lot more aches and pains, less flexibility and unfortunately… worse SEX.What if we told you it doesn't need to go down like that? … that there was a way to feel 20 years younger than your chronological age? … that sex could be BETTER in your 70's than it was in your 30's?These sound like really big, (maybe unrealistic) claims but Gay and Mike have both experienced these things (well, Mike's not in his 70's) and today they're going to share their secrets with you.They'll talk about the art of the “breathgasm,” what “conscious eldering” is all about and transcendent sex in your 70s. They'll also cover dealing with regrets, something called Gyrokinesis and a magical substance Mike found that is SUPER effective for getting rid of your aches and pains and helping you feel and look younger – and it's cheap!If this all sounds exciting or if it scares the hell out of you, you're going to love this episode. Keep listening or watch us on YouTube.Gay is 75 years old and has been engaged in conscious living and conscious loving his entire adult life. When he turned 50, he started thinking about what he could do to have a great elderly life and it's working like a dream.What is conscious eldering?When Gay was 50 he heard an interview with the Dalai Lama, who was 58 at the time. The Dalai Lama said that he was beginning to turn more of his attention to his death and to making the most of what he had left.Up until that point, Gay hadn't given any thought to his death consciously, so he started thinking about how he wanted his elder years to be and came up with a broad framework that he and his wife Katie, sat down and talked about.They made the decision to refine their lives so that we were only doing what they most loved to do and were only doing it with the people they loved the most. At the time, they were running a big operation so they started refining and “right-sizing” their business and life. Getting rid of a big office building, selling a few of their homes, a lot of their “stuff,” and employing less people, therefore reducing their stress levels immensely.Gay went out of his way to create a life and job that he would never want to retire from. His life is now full only of things he most loves to do.He says every breath you take after 50 is a choice between creativity or stagnation. When you get into your 50s, you've probably got a pretty good life. You're making money, you have great friends, and a home, but if you don't make the jump to what's regeneratively creative in you, then life won't be pretty in your 60s and 70s. The GOOD NEWS is that he knows people can feel happy, vibrant, creative and alive into their 80s because he's seen it with his own eyes.Mike is 54 years old right now and he's definitely noticing aches and pains when he wakes up that he didn't notice before and he doesn't like them. It can be a massive distraction that affects his focus and ability to deliver value to his clients. Historically, these things get worse with time but he has discovered the miracle of peptides.Mike broke his collarbone 12 weeks ago and was in the most unbelievable pain. He was doing research on pain management and discovered peptides. Peptides are basically little proteins that get activated when they're injected or injested. We've got tons and tons of peptides but they activate different parts of your body. Mike found one called BPC 157 that has pretty much relieved ALL of his pain AND healed his 30 year old gut issues. It's miraculous.There are tons of other peptides that help with many different health issues. Mike has found that the injections are the best option. You can buy them online and they're really cheap. He buys his from a place called www.peptidesciences.com (FYI, he's am not a doctor, nor does he play one on TV

Life calls us to continually grow beyond who we have been into the person we have the potential to be. And this invitation doesn’t cease when we hit 70, 80 or even 90 years old. It’s time to shift into a conscious aging model and embrace the pinnacle of life. Help shift negative beliefs and cultural stereotypes about the useless elderly to a worldview that honors and cherishes the elder.
