Harvesting Your Wisdom
Harvesting Your Wisdom
In November 2020, in the midst of some of the most devastating times of the global Covid pandemic, then 61-year-old Ronnie Dunetz, a CSL in training and a doctoral student of Wisdom Studies asked himself the question: What does it mean to harvest and cultivate one's wisdom in later life? The question prompted him to create an ongoing innovative workshop structure in which group participants could come together to explore, reflect upon, share, "think together" and gain a sense of clarity and accountability about many questions, topics, and challenges in their lives. Thus, "Harvesting Your Wisdom" workshops were born, and since then, a small, international group has engaged online in more than 120 such sessions, with a pipeline full of programs awaiting them!

New Life in America: Wanderings and Wonderings (ep. 2 of the “18+1 Miracle Escape”)
New Life in America: Wanderings and Wonderings (ep. 2 of the “18+1 Miracle Escape”)
This is the second episode in a series focused on the life of Sage-ing founder, Rabbi Reb Zalman. This episode tells of the Schachter family’s passage through post-war trauma, grieving for their lost home and family, and adaptation to a new life in a new world. We learn how young Zalman was drawn into a life commitment to spirituality, andhow his inquiring heart and mind took him on international adventures that he never could have foreseen. We discover that the same people and issues that inspired the US Civil Rights Movement and Peace Movement also shaped young Zalman himself, as well as Jewish Renewal and the global Sage-ing project that he conceived and founded.
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.
