Spiritual Aging: A Year of Reflection with Carol Orsborn

Spiritual Aging: A Year of Reflection

Regret: The Ghost of Aging

“Joan Chittister writes: ‘Regret, one of the ghosts of aging, comes upon us one day dressed up like wisdom, looking profound and serious…But how can it be spiritual insight to deny the good for the sake of what was not? No, regret is not insight. It is a sand trap of the soul.”


You have arrived at this age and stage of your life seeking a spiritual life, a simple life. But there’s an irony here as well. Rather than singing with angels, you often find yourself wrestling with them. But it’s a divine wrestle like Jacob on the banks of the Jabbok giving everything he’s got to win a blessing.”

– excerpt from Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life.


The Year of Reflection is based on the weekly readings taken from “Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life.” The focus for this month’s webinar coincides with this particular week’s reading: We consider the possibility that just as you need to forgive life for your disappointments, so it is that you are faced with the spiritual challenge of forgiving yourself. SASS groups will build on his foundation moving through the month addressing a diverse series of topics based on each week’s reflection.

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.
