How to Live Your Breadcrumb Legacy

As a Certified Sage-ing Leader (CSL), Jann Freed, PhD, often says, “Sage-ing International changed my life.” Jann is the author of Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering and Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts. In this workshop, Jann will share what she learned from interviewing hundreds of thought leaders about living a life with wisdom. Many of the Sages she interviewed are members of Sage-ing International. Come learn from Jann what she has learned on this journey of how to live in the way you want to be remembered.

Our Physical Selves: Changes, Challenges, Losses, and Opportunities

In this interactive four-week workshop, we’ll compassionately reflect on our relationships with our physical selves. To deepen our exploration, sessions will include poetry, meditation, journaling, breakout room sharing and larger group discussion. Each session builds upon the one before. Participants will be invited to work on a project of creative expression over the course of the series with an opportunity for presenting it to the group during the last session.

Online Awakening the Sage Within

Sage-ing is a model for engaging more deliberately, more joyfully, and more compassionately as we grow older. Together we will create a warm and safe space to share experiences and thoughts on some of the following topics, based on the ground-breaking book: From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Profound New Vision of Growing Older by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.

Climate Change in an Aging Society

This webinar will address what each of us can do about the threat of climate change for elders and for future generations. Together we will explore our biggest fears and greatest hopes about the climate crisis followed by interpretations of 10 powerful nighttime dreams to understand how hope and fear can actually guide us as we gain even deeper insights about our own response to climate issues.

The Fruits of Concious Aging: Compassion

Given the challenges inherent in the aging process, it is essential we learn to reframe our suffering as a gateway to compassion. While we don’t deny the difficulties associated with growing older, we see them as an opportunity to experience our deeper nature, which is loving awareness. In this webinar, David will speak about compassion as well as lead the group in an experiential exercise designed to open our hearts to ourselves, to one another, and to the world.

Deepening the Sage Within (in person!)

A great gift of our older years is the potential for deepening wisdom and expanding possibilities. As more and more of us are living longer, we want these extra years to be vibrant, inspiring and fulfilling. This program will help you discover what gives your life meaning as you age. An intimate gathering where we will explore what matters most to you while enjoying the strong and supportive community we will build together.

Introductory Meeting for Ancestry Circle Series

"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.

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
