Stephen Jenkinson, MSW, MTS is an author, teacher, farmer, and founder of the Orphan Wisdom School in Ontario, Canada. A former counseling director of palliative care at a major Canadian hospital, Stephen has earned renown for his speaking and writing on the subject of death and dying. In fact, the breadth of his thought and work extends far beyond the death trade, touching on many aspects of culture, notably language and etymology, money, agriculture, and the ‘unauthorized history of Western civilization.’
We interviewed Stephen in February 2019, after he delivered a Reading & Reportage on his latest book, COME OF AGE: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble (North Atlantic, 2018) in Los Angeles. The event was the first offering from The BirdHouse Wisdom Series.
The BirdHouse is a fiscally sponsored project of the 501(c)3 Dignity of Man Foundation, serving as a hub of exchange in Hollywood for those attracted to caring for the land and each other, through arts and ecology. The Wisdom Series is a program of invited guest speakers and thought leaders addressing issues of environment, culture, and regenerative living.
