Upcoming Events

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.

New Life in America: Wanderings and Wonderings (ep. 2 of the “18+1 Miracle Escape”)

This is the second episode in a series focused on the life of Sage-ing founder, Rabbi Reb Zalman. This episode tells of the Schachter family’s passage through post-war trauma, grieving for their lost home and family, and adaptation to a new life in a new world. We learn how young Zalman was drawn into a life commitment to spirituality, andhow his inquiring heart and mind took him on international adventures that he never could have foreseen. We discover that the same people and issues that inspired the US Civil Rights Movement and Peace Movement also shaped young Zalman himself, as well as Jewish Renewal and the global Sage-ing project that he conceived and founded.

Concious Eldering: The Hero’s Journey into Elderhood (World Wisdom Series #7)

The transition from mid-life adulthood to elderhood is a consciously chosen extended rite of passage with the same dynamics that have characterized rites of passage throughout history around the world—dynamics termed by Joseph Campbell and others as the Hero’s Journey. In this webinar, we will explore these dynamics (severance, liminal time, reincorporation) and the inner work that can enable us to grow into the elderhood of purpose, passion, and service that is possible for all of us if we have commitment and strong intentionality.

The Fruits of Conscious Aging Session #2 (7 part online webinar series with David Chernikoff)

In this uplifting new webinar series, David Chernikoff will draw on Buddhist and other contemplative teachings to guide us in cultivating and celebrating the blessings of spiritual maturity. In seven once-a-month webinars beginning on June 19th, we will study and experientially explore the following topics: integrity, generosity, patience, compassion, wisdom, lovingkindness, and equanimity. Together we will create a safe, supportive learning community as we increasingly embody the wise and loving elder we each have the potential to be.
