Whirlwind Action Movement changed the description of the group Elder Circle from “Welcome to Elder Circles—a dedicated sanctuary within WAM built to honor the wisdom, history, and active legacy of our elder community.
There is a profound difference between simply getting older and stepping into the role of an Elder. Getting older is automatic, but becoming an Elder is a title earned through a lifetime of contribution. Most of us in this circle have spent decades actively working, advocating, caring, and building to make the world a better place. Here, that hard-won knowledge and lived experience are recognized, respected, and deeply valued.  Elders may create sub-group circles.” to “Welcome to Elder Circles—a dedicated sanctuary within WAM built to honor the wisdom, history, and active legacy of our elder community.
