Soul Notes: A Guide to Eldering Through Reflection, Story, and Meaning
The Hero-Spiral is an invitation for elders to pause, reflect, and recognize the meaning woven through their stories. Rooted in the timeless journey of growth and return, it is a framework for group reflection. Each threshold on the spiral is an opportunity to revisit life’s stories—not in repetition, but with deeper meaning.
Gather in circle. Share your story. Be part of a movement reimagining elderhood.
Soul Notes is a guidebook for the elder journey. Through gentle language, meaningful prompts, and psychological insight, this reflection book helps you explore your story, make meaning of your past, and deepen your sense of legacy. Designed for personal journaling, legacy writing, or use in elder groups.
About Kathryn Skrabo
I have spent my life listening to people’s stories. With a background in developmental psychology, I have long been fascinated by the unfolding of the human lifespan — how we grow, change, and seek meaning at every stage of life.
For seven years, I served as a hospice volunteer, accompanying people at the end of life. What I witnessed stays with me: those who had engaged in reflection and inner work often met death with a sense of peace, while those who had avoided meaning-making often struggled in resistance and fear.
These experiences deepened my conviction that the later chapters of life are a time for reflection and that the weaving of meaning from the life we have lived is necessary work.
Through Soul Notes and the Hero-Spiral Journey Facilitator Guide, I offer resources to support this process . Life review is not only a pathway for wholeness for the elder, but also for their families, communities, and future generations. My hope is to create spaces where elders can honor their stories, deepen their sense of legacy, and approach this next threshold with purpose, wisdom, and service.
