Elders

Elders are people who have experienced the great joy and the great hardships of life. By listening, sharing stories and their presence, they help to anchor, bless and guide us. They have gained the ability to hold us on our journey and offer us wisdom and truth.

Bob “Bobcat” Caruthers

Since he was a young person, Bob has found the woods to be his refuge. When he’s in the woods, he feels most alive and most whole. Bob lived off the grid in a canvas wigwam powered by solar energy for three and a half years. Bob is a man of service who is active in many community groups and spends much of his life helping others. In addition to Two Coyotes, Bob is involved with his local UU church, a bioregional group, and local astronomy club. Bob brings a soulful and earned wisdom to our school. His open heart and deep listening are a gift to everyone who encounter him.
