Reb Zalman and the Art of Mentoring

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.

Growing older can present many challenges: physical aging in a society with a serious youth bias; loss of identity (finding meaning beyond the working world), for some, loneliness, or the sense that the world has left them behind. But the reality of change at any age implies not just loss but new beginnings, a sense of renewal, creativity, and the chance to find a greater sense of purpose and day-to-day happiness. 


Meditation is a skills training that empowers reframing. The principal skills help develop greater concentration, mindfulness, and compassion, including self-compassion. None of these are signs of weakness or passivity. Rather they help us be with painful experiences differently, with genuine compassion for ourselves instead of self-pity, and connection to others instead of isolation. We also practice to more fully take in the joy and goodness that are also there. 


The webinar will consist of a talk, guided meditation practice, and question-and-answer sessions. Suitable for both beginning and more experienced meditators.
