Leaving a Legacy: How Do I Want To Be Remembered?
Leaving a Legacy: How Do I Want To Be Remembered?
In this workshop, facilitated by Rachel Freed, we’ll explore through meditation, writing, and music the oft-forgotten need we all have to be remembered. We’ll learn about Lars Tornstam’s gift to the aging and even share some humor. Join us to celebrate endings and beginnings.
The Path To Being/Becoming A Gay (LGBTQ+) Sage
The Path To Being/Becoming A Gay (LGBTQ+) Sage
Sage-ing International (SI) is excited to be able to partner with the Gay Elder Circle to present this webinar. While the path to becoming an Elder or a Sage is for the few and far between, for the LGBTQ+ community the “road less traveled” may have been erased by the predominant culture. How then does an LGBTQ+ individual find this path? What does this path look like? Who is there to accompany an LGBTQ+ individual on this journey and help them face their challenges? Join us as we explore this path.
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.
