GOOD ANCESTOR CONVERSATIONS 
Every Wednesday morning at 12 noon ET/11am CT/10am MT/9amPT  we host informal virtual conversations on Zoom for elders interested in becoming better ancestors, based on Roman Krznaric's book and TEDx Talk, The Good Ancestor.  

Each week we'll discuss one aspect of what the author calls "thinking long." 

These topics include:
  • Deep Time Humility
  • Legacy Mindset 
  • Intergenerational Justice
  • Cathedral Thinking

These conversations are free of charge and each session limited to no more than 16 participants. Please contact Clint Wilkins, Let's Be Changemakers' founder -- at [email protected].  

It is our intention that some participants in these conversations will be moved to take action, and that's where our five-part Changemaker Workshop comes into play, where you'll partake in building your own changemaker project inspired by the work of those successful social entrepreneurs who can serve as guides and role models.  

​The Changemaker Workshop also meets once a week for a total of five weeks -- featuring our time-honored methodology of "making a map, minding the gaps and building the app."  The outcome: you will have designed your own project to be implemented in your own community.

Whether you just come to our weekly conversations or enroll in our Changemaker Workshop, you'll come away not only with new skills but also a deeper appreciation for the power of our
 Six Reasons Why Elders Make Strong Changemakers.
