Near the Exit: Travels with the Not So Grim Reaper
In her Sage-ing presentation, Lori Erickson will reflect on her experiences writing her book and guide us as we collectively ponder mortality—the ways we avoid it, the ways we cope with it, and the ways in which life is made more precious by accepting it. Through her personal reflections as well as her travels, Erickson will help us see that one of the most life-affirming things we can do is invite death along for the ride.

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.
