Spiritual Elderhood with Illana Berger, PhD
Episode 337
Monday, 17 November, 2025
Aging through the lens of night dreams, living dreams, and earth dreams. Dr. Illana Berger guides seekers through life’s initiations through Zen practice, Indigenous wisdom, dreams, and soul-centered transformation. Dr Berger starts out by speaking about koans and how dreams are like them: things to ponder not riddles to solve. We talk about the art of becoming present and how this is true enlightenment. We then shift to talking about the difference between elderhood and simply being old and how we can learn to turn toward our lives with curiosity. After the break we talk about Earth dreams and then take a call from Elizabeth from Bellingham who tells us a dream about leading a group of women in a spiritual practice. We end with a question from Max who talks about his experience in tribal communities where elders were integrated into the everyday fabric of the family. BIO: Illana Berger, Ph.D., Zen Roshi, spiritual counselor, and author of The Journey from Grievance to Gratitude and The Snake and the Four Winds, guides seekers through life’s initiations—aging, loss, and awakening—integrating Zen practice, Indigenous wisdom, dreams, and soul-centered transformation through her teachings, writings, and retreats worldwide.
