  • Virtual Gathering – Session 4: Home as a Crucible

    Home as a Crucible is a metaphor for the influences that have been brought to bear on us and that have been accepted as a way of being. One task of conscious aging is the exploration of these behaviors to determine which are still meaningful to who we are today.

  • Our Physical Selves

    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.

  • Grateful Sage-ing: The Wisdom Gained from a Grateful Perspective

  • A Gathering of Love, Reflection, and Action

    So much around us seems to be shifting as our world feels uncertain, divided, and aching for healing. The challenges we face are the very conditions that call our hearts, minds, and spirits forth to respond with our best selves. This is our opportunity to bring clarity where there is confusion, courage where there is fear, and hope where there is despair.

  • Sage-ing Together: Cultivating Resilience and Community to Navigate Our Chaotic World

    This three-session course, builds upon the work of Joanna Macy, as we acknowledge that we are facing the Great Unraveling, that we can meet as we focus on resilience and an expansive sense of community to navigate these difficult times. Using reflection, interactive practices, and discussions we’ll discover new allies, explore the gifts of uncertainty, and other practices that can move us from despair and overwhelm into a path of sustainable action for the healing of our world.

  • The Way of Forgiveness

    Forgiveness is often seen as a transaction between two people; a generous act of mercy by the offended toward the offender. But forgiveness is just as much about our own unburdening as we work to uncouple ourselves from the hurts and perceived injustices of the past.

  • We Were Made for These Times (Virtual Gathering Session 5)

    The old world is shaking; the new one is not yet born. These times call us into thoughtful reflection and collaborative evaluation; to gather our wisdom and consciously decide how to contribute to the healing of a struggling world.

  • Navigating the Transition to Retirement: Embracing Change and New Beginnings

While retirement involves aging and uncertainty, it also brings greater freedom and the opportunity to adapt to new roles and challenges.

Together we will create a warm and safe space to share experiences and thoughts on various age related topics discussed in the ground-breaking book: From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Profound New Vision of Growing Older by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
