The Perennial Gen

GROWING DEEPER IN THE DIRT AND LIGHT OF MIDLIFE

A new space for Christian women (and men) in the second half of their lives to cultivate frank conversation about transitions in our faith, culture, church, relationships, vocation, and bodies. 

In this community of thoughtful Christian writers and readers–most in their second half of life–we:

Cultivate frank conversation about transitions in our faith, culture, church, relationships, vocation, and bodies

Inspire intergenerational relationship and invite older women out of the shadows

Encourage new paths, purpose, and calling in the lives of people over 50

Invite those of other beliefs and stages of life to engage with us

After we’d dubbed this website The Perennial Gen, we ran across this great quote from internet enterpreneur Gina Butz about those in the second half of life: “Perennials are ever-blooming, relevant people of all ages who know what’s happening in the world, stay current with technology and have friends of all ages. We get involved, stay curious, mentor others, and are passionate, compassionate, creative, confident, collaborative, global-minded risk takers.” We love the synergy around the name. Even more, we celebrate her apt description!  We are the Perennial Gen!
