Introductory Meeting for Ancestry Circle Series

October 7 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

Ancestry Circle – One of SI’s Creative Expression Circles

“Ancestry Circle” is Sage-ing International’s (SI) pilot CREATIVE EXPRESSION CIRCLE (CEC). It has been offered successfully for two years and we are ready to announce its third season. We will focus on recovering forgotten ancestors, honoring them, and finding ourselves by telling the family story.

Important Note: Registration for this Ancestry Creative Expression Circle is limited to 10 people in order to offer you a personalized experience. Please consider registering by September 1st, at which time, registration will then be opened to the membership at large.

Sage-ing friends,

 

Thank you for your interest in your family’s ancestral legacy – a way of honoring our forebears and providing our families with a “mythos” of meaning, giving our rising generations a foundation on which to build their identities. In this series, Alan Rider CSL will offer guided individualized coaching, including six working group sessions over eight months, from October 2024 to May 2025.

 

On October 7th, at 1 PM Eastern, there will be an introductory group meeting to set the six future meeting dates. If you cannot meet on the 7th, Al will reach out to you individually for your input. If this group reaches capacity before October 1st ,Al will check in with the group to set an earlier meeting date.



Beginners through experienced ancestry researchers are welcome.

Our goal is to help you trace your ancestral legacy, honor your forebears, and provide your family with a ‘mythos’ of meaning as a foundation for the future. All are welcome: Beginning ancestry detectives through experienced researchers, and from all global backgrounds.

Sessions will cover:



  • Selecting genealogy database systems
  • Both online and hands-on research […Al provides an exhaustive list of resource books and websites, and helps with how to use them…]
  • Dealing with ‘ancestors misbehaving,’ who inevitably turn up
  • Creative storytelling and legacy strategies […scrapbooking, poetry, collage, historical cookbooks, self-publishing, etc. etc…]
  • Spiritual reflection applications


Together, we will pursue Sage-ing’s core topics of ‘Life Review, Leaving Legacy, Forgiveness, Service, and Mortality.’ Feel free to contact Al directly with any questions. a.rider@sage-ing.org


Each session in this Circle will be recorded. All registered participants will receive a private YouTube link of the session a few days after the event.

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.
