The Gift of Time: On Creativity and Slowing Down (part of the World Wisdom Series)

September 18 @ 11:00 am 12:30 pm

In the course of her presentation, Christian McEwan will share stories and anecdotes from her book, World Enough & Time, encouraging her listeners to explore very ordinary, everyday activities — walking, talking, writing, drawing, telling stories — both as a source of pleasure in themselves, and as a pathway to their own creative work. “The Gift of Time” is intended as a lively presentation, combining stories and anecdotes with a brief meditation and a couple of hands-on assignments. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Whether you do your eldering work alone or in socialized settings at workshops and meditation retreats, or through solo meditation and journal writing, remember that the work of integrating body, mind, and soul requires time and commitment…you can begin shaping your life into a noble masterpiece.”

 – Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

 

To support you on what Reb Zalman refers to as “this pioneering journey into your unmapped potential,” whether you are young or old, Sage-ing® International offers 3 categories of educational programs, each with its own unique flavor.

The Signature Programs

serve as an excellent introduction to sage-ing’s core topics (Images of Aging, Life Review, Forgiveness, Facing Mortality, Legacy, and Service).  They provide the tools and resources needed to explore the aging years in order to navigate the second half of life with greater understanding and purpose. 

 

The World Wisdom Programs

allow participants to explore cultural traditions and perspectives across the globe on aging and spirituality to deepen their understanding of their own aging years and to enhance their “Sage-ing tool-box.”

 

The Enrichment Programs

supplement and broaden SI’s range of educational opportunities by inviting guest presenters who are accomplished authors, innovators, Sage-ing® Leaders and other creative professionals, to facilitate workshops and webinars that reflect their areas of study and mastery of topics related to aging more consciously.
