Modern Male Elders and the Call To Save Humanity
Masculine norms expect men to be tough, stoic, and self-reliant.
Lewis Richmond is a modern male elder. So is his friend Peter Coyote and my friend Chip Conley. I met Lew in 1977 at Green Gulch Zen Temple in San Francisco where he was Head of Practice. I met Chip ten years later, shortly after he bought the iconic Phoenix Hotel, known back then as the quirky Tenderloin hotel with the rock ‘n’ roll soul. We are, literally, the last of a dying breed, at a time when humanity needs us more than ever.
