My Road to Sage-ing® Or How Sage-ing Helped Me Steer my Life in a New Direction

This course will focus on the basic elements of photography within a contemplative photography framework. These photographic elements are: light, color, space, and patterns/textures. Between sessions, participants will take and share photos focusing on each of these four elements. For this course, participants can use the camera on their smartphones or a camera. No prior skill in photography is necessary.

For many of us in our 60s, 70s and 80s the state of the world causes us great concern. Whether it be climate change, democracy, growing inequity, or any number of issues – this is not the world we want for those we love – yet this is our generational legacy. In this webinar, we will apply Joanna Macy’s teachings of “Active Hope,” to look at our despair and concerns, discern the future we want for those we love, and discover the power of constructive, collaborative action.

Join us on a transformative journey as we explore the profound concept of forgiveness, a cornerstone of the Sage-ing Movement. This workshop is a unique opportunity to liberate yourself from the weight of painful experiences and discover a more compassionate, loving, and wise version of yourself.

The Year of Reflection is based on the weekly readings taken from "Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life." The focus for this month's webinar coincides with this particular week's reading: We consider the possibility that just as you need to forgive life for your disappointments, so it is that you are faced with the spiritual challenge of forgiving yourself. SASS groups will build on his foundation moving through the month addressing a diverse series of topics based on each week's reflection.
