Sharing Ideas for a Better World
You are the whole world in miniature
That’s why you are so important
Your life gives the world a fresh chance to “get it right.” You are the very foundation of the human social world. You are where it all changes as you live the change you want to see. You are the one who can assist social justice, a flourishing planet, and spiritual harmony to become mutually enhancing cultural energies. So this site – with its ideas, books, and programs - is all about you – and your world.”
Your Life in All Seasons
Whatever age you are today, it probably feels like the most important few years of your life. But the odd thing is that every age and stage feels like it is the most critical time, because it truly is your leading edge, your time of becoming.
Your Life in All Seasons is a set of advanced tutorials for you to refine your Personal Art of Living. Based on my lifetime of professional practice with mid-life, mid-career adults, I have created this comprehensive set of short programs to give you the tools you need to keep improving your practice of living year-over-year.
Future: Two of the brightly illustrated video programs focus on unfailing life satisfactions in your near and far future. If that is what attracts you most, start in your future.
Present: Another pair of video programs focus on the effective life skills you need to refresh every now and then. Foundation skills ensure your smoothest running Rational Mind and Physical Body. Fulfilment skills expand your Social Heart and inspire your Curious Soul. If this self-mastery is what you want most, start in your present.
Pathway Years: Coming in Dec. 2024, a series of real-time on-line workshops shows you specific skills to sift out your Life-Story Assets. These precious assets include the People and Places you are encountering along the way, as well as the Life Arts and Inner Powers you are developing. These techniques aren't just for old folks. Reflecting on the wealth of your life experience can start anytime.

Introducing
Dr. Elaine K. McCreary
EdD, MA, BA.
A Globally Oriented, Creative Educator
Her life has been a saga of one new horizon after another – searching to understand how individual persons develop, and how the whole human world can attain its harmony.
Working with mid-life, mid-career adults for 40 years, she has taught and facilitated learning groups in college, university, corporate, community and government settings. These experiences have taken her from Iceland to Malaysia, and from Siberia to Hawaii with points in between in Europe, Canada, and the US
She believes that “if you want to learn, then teach,” because in the teaching-learning conversation, everyone gains new perspectives and insights. As oxygen is vital to the human body, learning is vital to the human spirit. Every day is a day of learning for everyone.

"Elaine McCreary is one of those magical and rare people who inspires one at every encounter to become the best version of oneself. I’ve had the pleasure and benefit of experiencing Elaine’s gifts from when I was a late teen entering university until now as I enjoy my post-Montessori career and enter my “second adulthood’, as Elaine calls these years after 65. While having her feet firmly planted in reality she is a global, wholistic thinker who is able to envision a better world for humanity where we can each learn, love and contribute positively to a better future."
Pari S.
Pediatrician, Tri-Cities, BC
"I have been with Dr Elaine’s course from the beginning and I am very impressed with her depth of understanding of human nature in relation to individual , society and the world. This course will give us skills to look at the life from our past to the future with loving, forgiving and passionate eyes.“
Often, at mid-life, people feel driven to focus on work-home-work-home-work-home-work… living to work; not really focused on what the home can be; and almost unaware that beneath the work-home merry-go-round, is a personal lifetime, full of mysteries and treasures, that call for you to find them.
Year-by-year, as you work to modify, simplify, and streamline the maintenance of your home and work, you will find increased time, energy and interest in contributing to your city, nation, and world. Even a little engagement with these contexts, will give you the satisfaction of influencing those larger contexts that affect your daily life.
The Human Hexagon is a powerful image enabling you to embrace your planet.
The Human Hexagon © is a masterful design created to calm the chaotic noise of non-stop information that you and others are suffering daily. It focuses on places where humans are searching together for solutions to their complex problems. The Hexagon is a masterpiece of simplicity that highlights six levels where humans are making decisions they hope will lead to a better world. You may pass through many homes, cities,
workplaces and nations BUT you have only this ONE lifetime, and ONE world to leave in a better condition than when you arrived.
