Thin Places: Embracing Celtic Wisdom as we Navigate Challenging Times

It feels, in the world today, we have collectively entered a time and space of threshold or ‘Thin Place,’ as we try to make sense of the world around us and, indeed, within us; where the old has fallen away and the new has not yet come into being. This is true for our external and internal worlds. As we look at the unraveling that is happening in the world today, our ‘thin places’ displace us—from our comfort zones, from the way we think life should be and call into question how to contend with our pain and our longing for things to be different. Each of us stands at the threshold of our own pain or wonder—our own thin place.

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.
