Spiritual Aging: A Year of Reflection (year-long series with Carol Orsborn)

January 7, 2025 @ 11:00 am 12:30 pm

Introducing a brand new type of series – Spiritual Aging: A Year of Reflection

Introducing a brand new type of series created by Sage-ing International for you!

Spiritual Aging: A Year of Reflection

Sage-ing International’s exciting new year-long immersive program is led by author Carol Orsborn and Certified Sage-ing Leaders (CSLs). Interactive sessions will be held the first Tuesday of every month beginning in 2025, January through December.

Author Carol Orsborn invites you to join her to deepen your experience of aging spiritually in the company of like-minded peers. Participants will embark on a year of reflection, working with Carol Orsborn’s new book: Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life.


In this year-long series, Carol Orsborn will walk participants through the most uplifting, passionate, and challenging passages on the path of spiritually aging. There are two options to register for the series, first – 12 monthly webinars with Carol, second, the monthly webinars and joining the smaller ongoing SASS Group (Spiritual Aging Study and Support Group – see below for further explanation) which will meet twice each month.


Through study, journaling, and both small and large group discussions, participants will share their challenges and discoveries as they apply the subject matter of the readings in Carol’s book to their own lives. The underlying message is that you don’t have to age alone and regardless of your circumstances, growing older can be a life stage with special meaning and purpose. You are encouraged to sign on for the entire series, but may also attend individual sessions. Purchase of the book is recommended for the monthly webinars, but it is optional.


On December 3rd Carol will offer a free stand-alone webinar, Spiritual Aging: Reflections on Embracing Life, to introduce the upcoming series.

What is a SASS Group?

Each group will determine the dates and times for their SASS groups at the first meeting.

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.
