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.

Jewish Mysticism and Sage-ing: Exploring the Legacy of a Modern Spiritual Master
|
Join us as we explore how the late Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (d. 2014) wove together his pioneering vision of spiritual eldering, based on a creative reading of Kabballah and Hasidism, as well as various modern psychological, ecological, and theological works. We will dedicate specific attention to Reb Zalman’s understanding of the life stages and different rungs of consciousness. This will lead us into a discussion of the role of the “sage” in various Jewish mystical sources and possible applications in contemporary culture.
A note about Rabbi Zalman – he was a forward-thinking spiritual leader; he is the father of the Jewish Renewal and Spiritual Eldering movements. He was also a teacher of Hasidism and Jewish Mysticism and participated in ecumenical dialogues world-wide.
