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
To support you in what Reb Zalman called “this pioneering journey into your unmapped potential,” Sage-ing® International offers three distinct categories of learning—Signature, Enrichment, and World Wisdom—each with its own unique focus and flavor, available as both webinars and workshops.
Awakening the Sage Within
is Sage-ing International’s foundational program and a powerful entry point for anyone ready to approach aging with greater purpose and intention. In this engaging, experiential workshop, participants are introduced to essential Sage-ing perspectives and practices, including life review, forgiveness, shifting beliefs about aging, and creating a meaningful legacy. Designed to be accessible and impactful, this program typically unfolds over 6–10 hours.
Deepening the Sage Within
offers a richer, retreat-like experience for those seeking a more immersive exploration of conscious aging. Through guided reflection and experiential practices, participants gain deeper insight, clarity, and personal transformation. While it expands on key Sage-ing themes, this program stands fully on its own and welcomes anyone drawn to a deeper inner journey. It typically unfolds over 14–16 hours.
Enrichment Workshops
Expand Sage-ing International’s learning offerings by featuring guest presenters—accomplished authors, innovators, Sage-ing leaders, and creative professionals—who share their unique expertise. These workshops introduce fresh insights and practices that support more conscious, intentional aging.
World Wisdom Programs
invite participants to explore diverse cultural traditions and global perspectives on aging and spirituality. These experiences deepen understanding of one’s own aging journey while expanding a rich “Sage-ing toolbox” for living with greater meaning, purpose, and connection.
