Decenter Everything

We have not been here before. We are now living decades longer than our ancestors. In the West, we have an abundance of older people, but very few authentic elders.

Decenter Everything challenges our modern post-parenting dreams by proposing a radical alternative: authentic eldering through intentional decentering.

Through poetry, prose, research, and reflection I propose five domains requiring decentering: God, being heard, knowledge, death, and consumption.

For anyone sensing the hollowness of our elderless culture, here lies a provocative path to reimagining a soulful and sustainable future.
