The world’s wisdom traditions offer us profound transformational tools for actualizing our best human qualities. Doing so for our own benefit and for the benefit of others may very well be the central spiritual task of a consciously lived life. A core principle of the conscious aging movement involves recognizing the last third of our lives as a time when many of us can focus more directly on this important task than at any other time in our lifespan.


In this uplifting new webinar series, David Chernikoff will draw on Buddhist and other contemplative teachings to guide us in cultivating and celebrating the blessings of spiritual maturity. In seven once-a-month webinars beginning on June 19th, we will study and experientially explore the following topics: integrity, generosity, patience, compassion, wisdom, lovingkindness, and equanimity. Together we will create a safe, supportive learning community as we increasingly embody the wise and loving elder we each have the potential to be.

The quality of compassion plays a central role in all of the perennial wisdom traditions. It begins with our relationship to ourselves and naturally extends to other people as well as living beings of all kinds, including the earth. Compassion in action, which will also be discussed in this webinar, is a way that we share our gifts with the world when we feel moved to do so by the suffering we witness.


Given the challenges inherent in the aging process, it is essential we learn to reframe our suffering as a gateway to compassion. While we don’t deny the difficulties associated with growing older, we see them as an opportunity to experience our deeper nature, which is loving awareness.


In this webinar, David will speak about compassion as well as lead the group in an experiential exercise designed to open our hearts to ourselves, to one another, and to the world.

This webinar is the fourth of seven in the 2024 Sage-ing International series The Fruits of Conscious Aging, with David Chernikoff.

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.
