The Challenge ## The Great Transfer of Care: A Generational Calling The world is in the midst of a profound generational calling to steward relationships and legacy, not just financial assets. This moment demands a new kind of leadership and stewardship—one that can transform private wealth into a source of public trust, aligning family legacies with planetary and human flourishing. ![kyle-sudu-u7gCPkoluTo-unsplash](https://intergen.family/hs-fs/hubfs/kyle-sudu-u7gCPkoluTo-unsplash.jpg?width=2000&name=kyle-sudu-u7gCPkoluTo-unsplash.jpg) Our Response ### Building Wisdom Infrastructure In an era of deep uncertainty and a **"credibility recession,"** the existing system is failing to meet the generational calling. The answer isn't more complexity, but a new **"Wisdom Infrastructure"**—a high-trust association where leaders and stewards convene to navigate long-term, generational challenges. We are an association by purpose; not by trade, cause, industry, transaction, or bottom-line. Guided by a **"Sacred Imperative,"** our mission is to build this social fabric, enabling purpose-driven agility and meeting the moment with principled action and a shared commitment to flourishing futures for all generations. ![ian-schneider-PAykYb-8Er8-unsplash](https://intergen.family/hs-fs/hubfs/ian-schneider-PAykYb-8Er8-unsplash.jpg?width=2000&name=ian-schneider-PAykYb-8Er8-unsplash.jpg) ### Relational Affirmation Our work isn't built on a fixed manifesto, but on a living practice we call **"Relational Affirmation."** It means our worldview isn't just stated—it is consistently **affirmed and made real through the relationships and insights of our community.** In practice, this means we **prioritize understanding** over pre-existing answers, **co-create wisdom** from our collective intelligence, and **validate our perspectives** with real-world action. The power of our association is in this process: **a community where people build trust and collectively affirm the different perspectives that can guide us towards flourishing futures.** ## Statements & Calling The statements below stem from the collective wisdom of 44 individuals who participated in a series of Intergen workshops in 2019. They are the living expression of our "Relational Affirmation" practice—a process where our shared perspectives are affirmed and made real through the relationships and insights of our trusted community. These insights have informed our work, providing a foundation for the Wisdom Infrastructure we're building in the world. *To access the full text, click each statement to access the respective 'calling.'* ##### [1 The world is undergoing fast and profound transformations.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse1-widget_1724268792805) I am called to respond purposefully, creatively and resourcefully to these complex times. ##### [2 What we do now will determine the physical life conditions for all life on Earth.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse2-widget_1724268792805) I am called to act with awareness of how my actions affect the present and future of our planet. ##### [3 The access to information and collective knowledge is increasingly widely distributed.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse3-widget_1724268792805) I am called to balance my belonging to an existing community, with openness to learn from other communities, particularly those who are not part of my daily life. ##### [4 We need to put forth more effort to sustain attention and purposeful action in the midst of distraction.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse4-widget_1724268792805) I am called to discern where I place my attention and focus my action. ##### [5 We need sustained, trust-based, and continuously expanding networks of collaboration for effective action.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse5-widget_1724268792805) I am called to cultivate trust and connection to amplify our collective action. ##### [6 Our capacity to respond effectively to the world’s problems depends upon collaboration across generations.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse6-widget_1724268792805) I am called to working across generations to support the positive transformation of the world. ##### [7 Each generation has a wealth of human, intellectual, social, spiritual and financial capitals.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse7-widget_1724268792805) I am called to acknowledge and integrate multiple forms of capital in my life and work. ##### [8 Intergenerational collaboration requires self-inquiry, empathy, active listening and open mindedness.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse8-widget_1724268792805) I am called to self-inquiry, exploring empathy, listening deeply, and being open minded so that I can be a better collaborator. ##### [9 Collaborations are made more effective with high-trust relationships.](https://intergen.family/worldview#collapse9-widget_1724268792805) I am called to create trust-worthy relationships and commit to reconciliation when necessary.
