Turning Points: Dare to Be Dauntless – an Interview with Amikaeyla Gastan

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.

Welcome to our exciting new series, Turning Points. Presented in a format similar to a podcast (prerecorded), we invite you to join us once a month as we introduce one of our 12 world-renowned visionary leaders, whose wisdom and life experience continue to inspire and support others on the path of conscious living, and finding one’s sense of purpose and meaning in life.


The uniqueness of these interviews will be the focus on the pivotal turning points in the lives of those interviewed by Ron Pevny, Director of the Center for Conscious Eldering, and Katia Petersen, President of Petersen Argo Inc. and Co-chair of Sage-ing International.


Katia and Ron each have extensive experience interviewing leaders whose work supports personal transformation. One of their goals in these interviews is to help “humanize” these influential figures so others can relate to them as fellow seekers whose wisdom and ability to live fully has been hard won, and whose teachings and gifts are grounded in their personal journeys through both darkness and light.


Registrants will have the option of participating in the private Turning Points Facebook group, where we will feature information about the presenters and their work and additional resources such as books, articles, poetry, and videos. We also wish to offer this as an opportunity to be part of a community of lifelong learners and to share reactions and reflections to the interviews, ask questions, have deeper conversations, and share their personal turning points from their own life journeys.


Dr. Petersen will be actively participating in the Facebook conversations and postings. Ron Pevny and our presenters will be able to respond to questions specifically directed to them, along the way. In addition, for easier accessibility, we will send a monthly email to each registrant with all the resources posted on the Turning Points Facebook page.
