Founder and Visionary
Greetings! I’m Kathryn DeMent, a Colorado-born Visionary, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, and Artist. As a creative with a deep love for humanity, I believe that connection, play and expression are direct lines to a life of joy and well-being. My family and I live in what we lovingly call a “village.” It’s a place where four generations of family relations share living space. Here, my children wake up each day, interacting with their grandparents, great-grandparents, and elder friends we affectionately refer to as “bonus grands.”
Four years ago, our lives took an unexpected turn when we experienced a house fire, just five months after the birth of my first child. This life-altering event introduced me to a career field I never knew could exist: elder companionship care. It all began when I aligned with my first client, who not only embraced me but also encouraged me to bring my baby along to spend time with them. Little did I know that this experience would lead me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually more deeply into the intergenerational way of life, but would also inspire me to physically create a place for more communities to experience that. At Wise Ones Intergenerational Center, we are very excited to offer partnership programs through a Montessori-inspired approach that fosters a love for learning and a sense of wonder across all ages. My mission is to bridge generational gaps, facilitate creativity, and build inclusive intergenerational connection. With the magic of the golden ages of elderhood and childhood in collaboration, we forge keys to a brighter future for all beings.
