Turning Points and Paradigm Shifts (ep 3 of 3 in the Life of Reb Zalman series)

This is the 3rd and final Episode in the Life of Reb Zalman, as told by his family and closest friends, to honor his memory of the centennial year of his birth. Episode 3 will bring you the two major turning points that led to the Sage-ing Movement and Jewish Renewal. There is a real-life background story to Reb Zalman's well-known exercise, The Testimonial Dinner: "A Banquet for our Severe Teachers;" We will also hear about personal insights contributing to his move in 1956 which led to his 40-day retreat at age 60, where the inspiration came for his classic book, From Age-ing to Sage-ing; and how that move changed his religious vision and became Jewish Renewal.

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.
