The Perils and Promises of Spiritual Ageing

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.

How you age is not a problem to be solved, but a spiritual choice.

–Carol Orsborn. Ph.D.


Many of us navigating the years beyond midlife report high levels of self-acceptance, freedom, and joy, but even for the most spiritually evolved, there can also be bouts of second-guessing and regret as well as the occasional longing to be reminded that you’re not in this alone.


Walking participants through the most uplifting, passionate, as well as dangerous passages of aging as a spiritual path, Carol Orsborn points the way forward through both the opportunities and stumbling blocks that may arise for seasoned seekers. There will be time for large and small group discussions and exercises.


Dr. Orsborn’s wise and compassionate insights are based on her original research in the fields of adult and spiritual development, as well as the wisdom of mystics, sages, and old souls from ancient through contemporary times who illuminate the path to living a full life while embracing old age.

Facilitator

Carol Orsborn, PhD, is the author of 35 best-selling books on conscious aging, spirituality, and life stage development including The Making of an Old Soul: Aging as the Fulfillment of Life’s Promise and Older, Wiser, Fiercer: The Wisdom Collection
