What’s important is taking the first step in moving from aging to sage-ing.  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.

Soulful Grieving: The Healing Power of Love

Grief is one of life’s universal experiences that has the power to silence us. Living in the shadow of grief can be tough. We live in a culture that disdains grief and sadness. But the fact is we all grieve. After teaching about grief to others for years as a healthcare educator and chaplain, Richard Groves had to face grief in a deeply personal way following the death of his wife, Mary. Tapping into the wisdom and experience of cultures that deal more courageously with the soulful dimensions of grief, Richard discovered the healing path that can be learned from other great wisdom traditions—and confirmed by the latest scientific research as well.

Embodying the Wisdom of Midlife and Beyond

This webinar will review theories of aging in psychology, spirituality, and culture. We will then envision how the current cohort of midlife and aging humans can embody the wisdom of their lives and change the cultural view of the aging process. Finally, there will be a practice session for the embodiment of one’s own wisdom and worth.
