Sage-ing International (SI) is excited to be able to partner with the Gay Elder Circle to present this webinar.

While the path to becoming an Elder or a Sage is for the few and far between, for the LGBTQ+ community the “road less traveled” may have been erased by the predominant culture. How then does an LGBTQ+ individual find this path? What does this path look like? Who is there to accompany an LGBTQ+ individual on this journey and help them face their challenges?

Join us as we explore this path.

Facilitator

Bill Sive has been engaged in the LGBTQ+ community for many years as a youth, adult, and now an Elder. He has contributed his personal time over the years to the Orange County, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and South Bay LGBTQ+ Centers. He was one of the original founding members of the then-called Gay Student Union at Cypress College and California State University Long Beach.

Bill currently serves as the President of the Gay Elder Circle and serves on other non-profit boards. He spends his time advocating for LGBTQ+ social and environmental justice and hosts community workshops on issues related to LGBTQ+ leadership and visibility.

In the beginning of his service the Gay Elder Circle recognized the value and expertise of the work Bill was doing within the community. He was fulfilling the role of Elder without a more formal Elder background; and, after numerous years of guidance and mentoring with the Gay Elder Circle, Bill’s role became formalized.

Bill is now a sought-after speaker on a variety of LGBTQ+ issues. The Gay Elder Circle acknowledges there are many paths to becoming an Elder and Eldering in the community.
