This webinar will address what each of us can do about the threat of climate change for

elders and for future generations. Together we will explore our biggest fears and greatest

hopes about the climate crisis followed by interpretations of 10 powerful nighttime

dreams to understand how hope and fear can actually guide us as we gain even deeper

insights about our own response to climate issues.


In the second part of the webinar, we will examine three specific kinds of threats:

wildfire, flood, and heat waves. Analysis of these threats will include actions that we can

each take: investment for a green retirement; becoming a climate-conscious consumer;

and citizen mobilization around climate change. In this space, we will hear mini-

interviews from outside speakers addressing the role of the unconscious (Shadow);

intergenerational collaboration; and opportunities for action before the 2024 election.


Participants will be invited to share (if they choose to do so) their own plans for action in

the coming months. We will be guided by three maxims: “Action is the antidote to anxiety”;

“Think globally and act locally;” and “Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up.”

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.
