Are you entering a new chapter in life, ready to embrace its opportunities and navigate its challenges?
The journey into the second half of life can bring exciting changes, personal growth, and the chance to build meaningful connections. Yet, it’s also a time when many men face feelings of isolation or uncertainty about what comes next.
At MenLiving, we recognize the unique potential and complexity of this stage. That’s why we’ve created the Elders program—to support men as they step into this transformative phase with purpose, confidence, and a strong community by their side.
As a member of the Elders, you’ll gain the tools, insights, and relationships to make the next decades of your life truly golden.
You’ll also join a supportive brotherhood of men who uplift, challenge, and inspire one another.
With your membership, you’ll receive:
- A Closed Cohort Experience: Join a group of 8 men for biweekly meetings facilitated by MenLiving. These gatherings expand your social circle and dive into meaningful topics relevant to this stage of life.
- Exclusive Access to Expert Talks: Attend monthly sessions with renowned speakers who address key issues and opportunities unique to the second half of life.
MenLiving chose the name Elders with great intention. An Elder is someone who shares their experience and wisdom to benefit others—and we’d love to help you share yours!
If you feel called to contribute in this way, the Elders program also offers opportunities to put your elderhood into action and make a meaningful difference.
