Living Wisdom Collective

Transforming a lifetime of experiences into stories, creativity, and connection across generations.

For the last eleven years, Pseads Institute has designed transformative learning experiences that help people discover their voice, creativity, and capacity to contribute. The Living Wisdom Collective extends that work across the lifespan.

Rooted in conversation, reflection, storytelling, writing, art, and multimedia, the program invites older adults to explore the experiences that have shaped their lives and transform them into meaningful creative work—while building deeper relationships with one another and inspiring younger generations.

The Experience

Over six weekly gatherings, participants engage in:

Meaningful conversation
Guided reflection
Storytelling and memoir
Creative writing and poetry
Visual arts and multimedia
Community dialogue
Collaborative creative projects Participants leave not only with meaningful relationships, but with new creative work that reflects their lives, values, and perspectives.

Select partnerships also include a professionally facilitated storytelling film project, creating a lasting resource that can be shared with families, communities, and future generations.

Learning Across Generations

One of the defining features of The Living Wisdom Collective is its connection to young people. Pseads Youth Fellows participate in the experience as listeners, collaborators, interviewers, filmmakers, and facilitators.
