In his 1995 book From Age-ing to Sag-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.

All are welcome to attend. For those who are interested in the Sage-ing Leader Certification Program, this DSW qualifies as a pre-requisite workshop.

In this workshop, You will…

  • discuss how ageism may be adversely affecting your life
  • learn some tools that help you let go of grievances and forgive
  • begin to recognize how the stories you have consciously or unconsciously created have shaped your life
  • help you to explore ways to leave a legacy of love that goes way beyond your legal will
  • learn how to embrace mortality or impermanence as a good thing, and
  • discuss how you can continue to be of service as an elder

Who will benefit from taking the DSW:

  • Older men who wish to design the next stage of life and the lives they touch by aging consciously
  • Professionals and caregivers who work with older adults
  • Clergy, spiritual directors, social workers, hospice workers
  • All men who are interested in exploring a new paradigm of the life cycle as described by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi in his best-selling book From Age-ing to Sage-ing.

This is an important time for all men to begin to understand the light within, and how that light can be a source of support to themselves and to others.

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.
