A Ritual of Rememberance – Honoring our Losses and Deepening our Blessings

Every one has suffered personal, communal, and planetary losses over the past year. We as individuals, and We, the global interconnected web of life, benefit when we come together to create Sacred Space for honoring our losses and deepening our blessings. You are invited to join the Sage-ing Community in this ritual for remembering, sharing, and transforming our collective grief.

The Power of Purpose: To Grow and to Give for Life

Everyone is getting old; not everyone is growing older. But the path of purposeful aging is accessible to all. And it is fundamental to health, healing, happiness, and longevity. With a focus on growing whole through unlocking a sense of purpose in later life, Richard celebrates the experience of aging with inspiring stories, real-world practices, and provocative questions to help us navigate the path from adulthood to elderhood with choice, curiosity, and courage.

Introducing Spiritual Ageing: Deepening the Conversation (a free webinar with Carol Orsborn, PhD)

Many of us navigating the years beyond midlife report high levels of self-acceptance, freedom, and joy. However, there can also be bouts of second-guessing and regret and the occasional longing to be reminded that you’re not in this alone. Walking participants through the most uplifting, passionate, as well as dangerous passages on the path of aging spiritually, Carol Orsborn provides us with a first look at her newest book Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life (Inner Traditions, December 2024).

The Fruits of Conscious Aging – Equanamity

In this final webinar of the 2024 series, we’ll look closely at what some traditions consider to be the ultimate fruition of a consciously lived life. David’s talk will address ways we can distinguish authentic equanimity from indifference and apathy. We’ll review the entire webinar series and David will lead us in an experiential exercise to help us identify and assimilate what we’ve learned from our time together.

Thin Places: Embracing Celtic Wisdom as we Navigate Challenging Times

It feels, in the world today, we have collectively entered a time and space of threshold or ‘Thin Place,’ as we try to make sense of the world around us and, indeed, within us; where the old has fallen away and the new has not yet come into being. This is true for our external and internal worlds. As we look at the unraveling that is happening in the world today, our ‘thin places’ displace us—from our comfort zones, from the way we think life should be and call into question how to contend with our pain and our longing for things to be different. Each of us stands at the threshold of our own pain or wonder—our own thin place.

Unlock Your Purpose

The Hidden Power of Dreams for the Second Half of Life

In this webinar, we look at dreams that offer guidance for the second half of life. Participants will not bring their dreams to interpret nor will participants need prior experience with dreamwork. Even if you never remember any of your dreams, you can interpret insights into how the “Shadow” in all of us can offer a hidden power to cope with the gift of growing older.

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.
