"Education is that which remains after
one has forgotten everything one has learned in school."
- Albert Einstein
Origin Story
Future Elders
FutureElders was born to guide elders-in-training. To help us remember. Remember who we truly are. Remember where we really come from. Remember how to live in right-relationship with the Earth. Remember how to create in a beautiful, purposeful and authentic way. Remember that to become a super-human we just need to become super, human again.
Modern technology has disconnected us from the wisdom of our ancestors and our true connection to the Earth under the guise of connectivity. There are tens of thousands of years of wisdom that lie dormant in our DNA, waiting to be activated. Are you ready to start the journey of being an ancestor worth descending from?

Julí Ní Mhaoileóin
known as the Dingle Druid, she is what some may call a ‘hedge witch’. She uses the gifts of Nature in ceremony, ritual and creation to help guide us, heal us and soothe us.
As a Ceremonialist, Julí works with Nature and the elements to combine the ancient lore of plants with the healing, power and wisdom of the Druids, resulting in heartfelt ceremonies and deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.
She dedicates herself and her work to help people connect with Nature, with the magic of the plant world, and through it forge deeper connections in their lives, with their inner selves and with others.
Power is not brute force and money;
Power is in your spirit. Power is in your soul. It is what your ancestors, your old people gave you. Power is in the earth; it is in your relationship to the earth."
- Winona LaDuke
