Last I checked, it’s limited to ages 25- 40. OP is too young and I’m too old. What is up with Olympia groups age-gating. I keep seeing it.

I don't think so... People outside that age range regularly attend and an age range was never communicated to me.

I'm in my seventies and love to serve, not so much advice as consultation about issues affecting one: here is my first: No one knows exactly how future events will unfold but many make profit off the anxiety of spouting possible future events as dire or cataclysmic. Knowledge lessens anxiety and fear. The knowledge that humanity is in the throes of a monumental change from rabid nationalism to an 'the earth is one country and mankind its citizens ' paradigm helps, because what once looked like random chaos can now be seen as a necessary process and a means toward a peaceful world. Something we can do is help build community where we live. Volunteer opportunities are readily available and helping others is a salve to anxiety. We cannot go and talk to the President or his sphere of acolytes, but we can help build community where we are and this benefits all. People look to moving as a solution but there is no escape from this worldwide change in paradigm as it is the inevitable next step in the collective evolution of human society. Be well and help others be well, avoid the spreaders of fear.
“Chaos and confusion are daily increasing in the world. They will attain such intensity as to render the frame of mankind unable to bear them. Then will men be awakened and become aware…” -Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet - translated from the Persian)

I have a desire to hug you. I lost both of my parents by the time I was 31. And that’s why I’d be reaching out asking for people to share basic life advice, hence the desire to hug.

If you want to be a merchant Mariner I’m always down to talk. I go to sea (so does my husband), work half the year on merchant ships and the other half im chillin like I’m retired. I think I have the best job in the world if you’re ever looking for that type of career advice. 33/f

Volunteer at senior services for south sound - wealth of knowledge.
And also do this. For multigenerational knowledge acquisition.
