You are a beautiful gem in the treasure box of life... a unique stitch in the cardigan of life... with access to your own flavour of wisdom which is not only worth sharing in our world today, it is a vital ingredient. You may think this doesn’t apply to you, but this is the premise The Silver Tent is based upon: We are wise women with wisdom worth sharing, and the menopause journey (that we’re either embarking upon, we’re in the midst of, or even if we’ve left it miles behind), is our portal to this deep innate wisdom. Nature is not random. She does nothing without an inherent design. So, if Nature chose to gift (and I mean gift) the menopause to only two creatures on this planet, us and Whales, she had her reasons. Maybe, like Whales, we are wisdom-keepers and maybe, more importantly at this time in the history of mankind, it's the time of womankind to be wisdom-sharers. WHAT WE COVER: Our 9-week Journey takes you on an exploration of who you truly are, when you see beyond the filters of what you’ve learned about yourself over the last five decades and more. You’ll explore what your menopause has, or is, gifting you and, with the guidance of your own Muse (maybe we’ll call her your Menopause Muse), you’ll reveal what your message is for the world (regardless of whether this ‘world’ is your immediate family, your community or a global stage). Your Muse will share with you what medium most suits you, what audience is most open to your message, and you’ll find that place of authenticity from which to share your message most powerfully and enjoyably. Whether you choose to share your message through writing, radio, video, or storytelling through many media, your Muse will give you all the guidance you need. She becomes your profound ally. When you explore with your Muse, you’ll soon discover that this high level of creativity opens you to way more than what you thought you knew. In fact, it's an indication you’re operating from this ‘genius’ level. You’ll enter a whole new realm when you allow your Muse to lead the way. STRUCTURE OF OUR JOURNEY: Held over nine weeks, with a session each week in a zoom room, and occasional assignments in between. This is really just the beginning… Each month afterwards, for twelve months from date of completion, we’ll meet up in a Zoom room for a MuseMind to support each other in honing our unique message and to share it. With your co-operation we will relaunch Silver Tent Radio as well as Silver Tent TV and more. PARTICIPATION: To participate in this very first Silver Legacy Journey you need to be a Silver Synergy member for at least three months during the Journey itself. To continue receiving support, you will need to stay on as a Silver Synergy member. And there is far more to share with you as we travel on this Journey together. INVESTMENT: This special ‘pioneering’ investment is offered at just £69 + three months' Silver Synergy membership. This will also provide lifetime access to the recorded programme. In return for this special rate, we ask for your feedback, comments and testimonial on completion. The regular cost in future will be £369. You are welcome to participate through recordings only, at the same special price. START DATE: 15th February 2023, and every Wednesday thereafter, until we complete on 12th April 2023. I may offer a second start date on Sunday 19th Feb if you can't make the 15th. SESSION TIMES: 3pm UK time for a maximum of two hours, some sessions will be shorter. If you miss a session, you will be able to catch up through the recordings, but you will gain more from the experience if you are able to attend the live Zoom calls. OPPORTUNITY: On completion you will have the option to upgrade your Silver Synergy membership to the new Silver Legacy membership at no extra charge for a full year. This is for those of you who would LOVE to become a Silver Tent Radio and/or Silver Tent TV host and more.

Celebrating Wise Elderhood – How
Event Details
Celebrating Wise Elderhood – How different cultures view Elder Women – with Vanessa Squire Kaliski
Let’s gather as a Silver group of Wise Elder Women ready for an adventure together.
A tour of inspirational ancient and modern places in Israel, nexus points of ancient feminine energy, following in the footsteps of archetypal wise women, especially Miriam the Prophetess and Mary Magdalene.
We can visit the Sea of Galilee, site of many miracles, the well of Miriam, the well of Mary Magdalene, the Jordan River baptism site, and also the first Kibbutz Degania Alef, where some of my children and grandchildren live, and where I was a member for 30 years. We can meet and speak to some inspirational Wise Elder Women to hear about how they feel as Elders in their community.
We can visit the Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth. Bathe in the velvety waters, soooo soothing for aches and pains. Experience the mystical energies.
We can visit the Negev Desert, Megiddo – Armageddon, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv… there are so many varied and varying fascinating places.
Experience how Elderhood is regarded in the rich cultural melting pot of Israel, where you’ll see all shades of Jewish, Arabic, Bedouin, Druse, Circassian, Ethiopian, Russian, Iraqi, Persian, Georgian, South and North Americans, Europeans… and now especially lots of French are arriving in Israel, with their delicious influence too.
I lived in Israel for more than 30 years, speak fluent Hebrew, and feel completely at home there, my children and grandchildren are there. For decades I have been arranging tours around Israel for visitors from abroad.
Our itinerary will be relaxed, an informal gathering of friends. I am arranging the accommodation and all transportation, tours and experiences. Participants will arrange their flights to Tel Aviv, and cover the cost of meals after breakfast, and any extra spending you might like. I am happy to help you with all arrangements.
We’re planning to be A small relaxed group of explorers, max 8 or 9. We have place for 5-6 Silver Synergistas, Francesca and me. I’ll drive us around in a minibus. We’ll follow our spontaneous flow. Based on current flight options from the UK to Israel, it looks like it will be 7 nights, 8 days from SUNDAY 15th until SUNDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2023 (details subject to change).
October is an ideal time of year to visit Israel. Daytime temperatures around 28°C/82°F, about 18°C/64 °F at night. There may be a little rain, but mostly bright balmy sunshine, after the arid heat of the summer. And after the crowds of the high season. We will work out an itinerary based on what my fellow explorers who choose to join me would love.
We’re planning to stay in single rooms with private bathrooms at Karei Deshe https://en.iyha.org.il/karei-deshe-kinneret-hostel on the shores of the magical Sea of Galilee, and the Ein Kerem Guest House https://www.notredamedesion.org/…/ein-kerem-guest-house/ in the hills of Jerusalem, with beautiful peaceful gardens, and an ancient well. Both places have a luscious relaxing vibe.
I’ve had guests stay happily at Karei Deshe in the past, and also have visited the Ein Kerem Guest House two or three times, and participated in a Voices of Eden concert there in the church with a retreat group organised by our Silver Sister Eliana Gilad. It’s a popular place to stay with groups for yoga, writing, meditation and all kinds of workshops.
Breakfast is included. We will have the other meals when we are out and about. Israel is a culinary delight! We could do a foodie tour, tasting all the different cuisines – maybe another time…
THE WHY?
When Francesca and I were celebrating our birthday together last October, we were considering different aspects of what really is the beating heart of the Silver Tent, what is the special flavour, especially for our in-person gatherings?
When Francesca and I were celebrating our birthday together last October, we were considering different aspects of what really is the beating heart of the Silver Tent, what is the special flavour, especially for our in-person gatherings?
The tagline on the The Silver Tent website at the moment is:
Challenging Convention – Rewriting the myth of the older woman
Challenging Convention – Rewriting the myth of the older woman
On my frequent visits to Israel I realised that, in general, older women are regarded with more respect than we may experience here in the UK, and that starts with the pension age being 62, rather than 67. Mostly women our age are honoured as matriarchs of their families, with a valued part to play in society. There are many nuances, traditions and different ways within the different cultural communities in Israel. Is there something we can learn, and bring home?
Israel is unique as a multicultural melting pot, where so many of these different attitudes can be observed in the different cultural communities.
I am blessed with personal friends in Israel from various backgrounds who will be pleased to talk to us, and there is also strong ancient feminine energy to absorb from the power-full Holy Land, especially at this time of great change.
I invite you to join me to explore further.
I invite you to join me to explore further.
INVESTMENT (estimated, as at 4Feb23)
Bearing in mind that Israel is a very popular destination and flight and car hire costs are constantly rising, the sooner we can settle our plans, the better.

It’s best to book flights as soon as possible. Prices are climbing every day. Tel Aviv is a super-popular destination. If you’d like to add some extra days to your trip, I’m happy to help you with suggestions and arrangements. I now travel with hand luggage only, and recommend you do too. Am happy to help you sort that out as well. Make sure you have travel insurance as soon as you book your flight, which will cover any cancellation.
I will hold some extra Zooms with the group travelling to prepare for the adventure, including what to bring (definitely your swimsuit!), and so on. We can even have some mini-Hebrew lessons for fun!
We’ll return home inspired by experiencing so many different cultures in this unique multicultural melting pot, seeing the wonders of Israel, and with food for thought about celebrating our own Wise Elderhood.
