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 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.

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.

Sage-ing is a model for engaging more deliberately, more joyfully, and more compassionately as we grow older. This four-part series will address various aspects of Sage-ing from the book "From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Profound New Vision of Growing Older."

In his 1995 book From Age-ing to Sage-ing, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, the most influential Jewish change-maker of his generation, created a new way of looking at aging in the second half of life called “Sage-ing.” Instead of seeing this stage of life as a time of loss and diminishment, Sage-ing affirms the importance of aging as a time for deep reflection, continued learning, and spiritual growth.

This Sage-ing International signature program starts on October 27th and takes place over the course of five Tuesdays in October, November, and December. Anyone who identifies as male is welcome to attend. For those interested in the Sage-ing Leader Certification Program, this DSW qualifies as a prerequisite workshop.
