Corinna Stoeffl
Biographical Info
Corinna Stoeffl, MA, MS, is an initiated elder, a seeker who lives in the question, and one who knows that magic is real. She continues to grow more deeply into her knowing and awareness. Corinna understands the importance of fully being herself and empowers others to do the same. She facilitates people in recognizing where they are living out the stories, beliefs, and judgments of others—inviting them to discover what is truly their reality. She uses simple yet effective tools that allow change to occur, often in ways that had not previously seemed possible—as she has experienced for herself.
Corinna has trained with the School of Lost Borders from 1991 to 1995. She began guiding day trips in 1994 and regular trips from 1998 through 2007. In 1994 she joined the Wilderness Guides Council and served on a variety of Councils (Advisory Council, Gathering Council, Circles, and Elder Council). In 2006 she moved to New Mexico and initially focused on photography. She was part of the team that organized the 4th International Gathering of Wilderness Guides in the USA and founded the non-profit organization Global Rites of Passage. Since 2012 she is again working with people.
Corinna’s deep love of Nature was expressed for many years through photography, capturing landscapes and wildlife in ways that invited stillness and reverence. While tremors have made photography more challenging, her work continues in other forms. She is no longer guiding groups in the wilderness but now guides inner journeys through writing, mentorship, and community. She is the author of "Stepping Stones into Elderhood – Reflections on My Journey of Becoming", and is currently writing her third book, Re-Imagining Elderhood. This evolving work does not define elderhood—it invites the reader into an experience of the elder field itself: a frequency of presence, deep listening, and vision beyond polarity. Rather than offering answers, the book opens questions that touch the soul and rekindle remembrance of our belonging to the whole..
Corinna also offers 'Awakening the Elder Within', a six-month Rite of Passage journey into embodied elderhood. Held in the spirit of the gift, this offering supports participants in accessing their inner clarity, anchoring presence, and transmitting the frequency of elder into a world in transformation. She holds an online community dedicated to re-skilling, reflection, and co-creating the world that is emerging.
