“Optics of Aging” – A Feature Documentary
“Optics of Aging” – A Feature Documentary
In "Optics of Aging" stereotypes of ageism are confronted and the beauty of aging is revealed through five Rhode Island elders who have shaped the landscape of Rhode Island and beyond. Their voices take flight against the backdrop of archival imagery that captures the vision of an earlier time.
Harvesting Your Wisdom Circle
Harvesting Your Wisdom Circle
What does it actually mean to harvest and cultivate one's wisdom in later life? For four years, Ronnie Dunetz has led an online group that has been tackling this challenge using lively, explorative group reflection, exploration, and conversation. By bringing our authentic selves to such conversations we enable the cultivation of our insights and wisdom. This new Harvesting your Wisdom Circle will invite members to engage with a vast array of “off the beaten track” topics that will challenge, empower, and assist our growth of wisdom in our sage-ing processes of later life.
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.
