One more chance to hear from our Elders. October 9th

Elder Speak continues Oct 9, 6–8 PM at the Wenatchee Valley Museum!
At our first gathering, we were reminded of timeless truths: Listen to the voice within. Be vulnerable. Do not bank worry. This too shall pass.

Come hear our Elders share wisdom born from a lifetime of experience. Don’t miss this heart-opening evening of connection.

Behind every Elder Speak event are three extraordinary women

Each year, we shine the spotlight on the Elders and their journey into wisdom. But the truth is… they wouldn’t shine as brightly without the vision, care, and devotion of these women:

Theresa D-Litzenberger
Deb Pobst
Robin Boal

Theresa and Deb have been guiding Elders through this transformative process since 2014, continually refining and deepening the experience. Together with Robin, they hold the container, create the questions, and provide the support that allows our Elders to grow into their greatness.

They are the founders, guides, supporters, and generators of deep wisdom that makes Elder Speak possible.

From all of us at The Ripple Foundation— and from the community that receives the gift of Elder Speak — thank you, Theresa, Deb, and Robin. Your work changes lives.

Get tickets here for Sunday Sept 7th -> https://www.theripplefoundation.org/elder-speak
