A humble and gracious path into elderhood: Robina McCurdy. With Julia Neumann and Annika Korsten

Show notes

Robina McCurdy - New Zealand born, a woman firmly grounded on this earth, a global weaver of creating a regenerative culture, an community elder who is young in her heart and ageless in her wisdom. The 76-year old woman of many hats shares through a number of examples how to live life to its full extension through one's life stages and takes a fierce stand for elderhood being recognized and honoured in our culture. Being a grandmother of children - and not a biological grandmother herself - she highlights the importance of intergenerational connection that keeps eldership alive. She is a walking example for young women to demonstrate how it can go 'not to be somebody for anybody' anymore and becoming a person of astute observation, of service, and calling out the bullshit with no holding back. She paves a way forward on how to unapologetically be yourself. As an elder and literally gradually excarnating into the spiritual world she speaks of the unique place she is in to weave between the spiritual and the world of deep matter. And like the cherry on top of the icing she dissembles one of the most misunderstood myths of getting older - she reveals unwaveringly that sexuality only becomes deeper and more insightful than ever before.
