Embodying the Qualities of a Sage through Qigong

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.

You might just be wondering what Qigong (pronounced Chee Gong) has to do with Sage-ing work. In this series of classes, you will learn how these seemingly disparate disciplines describe similar qualities of what it means to be a healthy and balanced human being.


In this series of five classes, we will be looking at Qigong through the lens of the 5 Elements of Chinese medicine and how the characteristics of these elements correspond to the 10 qualities of a Sage in Service. Although this may seem complicated, these two maps of the human personality are quite similar.


In addition, we will be embodying the energy of each of these sage-ing qualities through the simple movements of Qigong. Each class will alternate PowerPoint presentations and Qigong movements as we journey along this interwoven path of 5 Element Qigong and the 10 Qualities of a Sage in Service.


No worries if you have never done any Qigong before since the class can be adapted to all bodies and levels and can be done either standing or seated. There is a saying in Qigong that you can’t do it wrong, you can only do it “good, better, or best.”
