WELCOME STEPHEN GARRET

Welcome to the Contemporary Elder Institute's Faculty = Reverend Stephen Garrett

Welcome, Reverend Stephen Garrett


The mission of The Contemporary Elder Institute is to develop a pathway for late-aged professionals to become elders who will go out into the world and provide higher wisdom in substantive interactions and relationships. 


We mean substantive as defined:

1: having substance: involving matters of major or practical importance to all concerned


2: real rather than apparent: FIRM; PERMANENT, ENDURING

  a: belonging to the substance of a thing: ESSENTIAL

  b: expressing existence

3. being a totally independent entity


To that end, we are developing a faculty that is crucial for this passage from older to elder. 

The relationship one has with their death is paramount to becoming an elder. The Reverend Stephen Garrett, a premiere and tenured teacher, author, mentor, coach, and leader in grief, death and dying, has accepted our offer to be on our faculty. 


Welcome, Stephen.
