At Sage-ing International, we view the second half of life as a time of continued growth, discovery, and purpose. Rather than seeing aging as decline, we invite people to experience it as an opportunity for conscious inner development and the flowering of wisdom.
Our Learning Programs support this journey through webinars, workshops, and extended courses that explore life review, resilience, mentoring, spiritual growth, and intergenerational connection. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their lived experience, harvest the wisdom of their lives, and shape a meaningful legacy.
Inspired in part by the teachings of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, these programs help individuals transform a lifetime of experience into deeper understanding, renewed purpose, and compassionate service to their families, communities, and the wider world.
The message at the heart of our programs is simple: aging is not an endpoint, but a dynamic stage of life filled with grace, wisdom, resilience, and possibility. Elderhood is a vital resource for building a better future for generations to come.
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
Signature Workshops and Retreats
Awakening the Sage Within is Sage-ing International’s foundational workshop and the entry point into the essence of Sage-ing. It introduces participants to the core concepts and practices of Sage-ing: images of aging, life review, forgiveness, facing our mortality, legacy and service. The workshop is experiential, reflective, and accessible to all, usually between 6-10 hours.
Deepening the Sage Within is created for individuals who wish to explore the Sage-ing journey more fully. Similar to a retreat experience, this program expands on the foundations introduced in “Awakening the Sage Within” through more immersive exercises, deeper inner work, and enriched personal exploration. The program typically spans 14-16 hours.
Enrichment Programs
These supplement and broaden SI’s range of learning opportunities by inviting guest presenters who are accomplished authors, innovators, Sage-ing Leaders and other creative professionals to facilitate workshops that reflect their areas of study and mastery of topics related to aging more consciously.
