The Angel of Tibet and The Angel of the Jews
The Angel of Tibet and The Angel of the Jews
The wisdom of elders is to move from a self-centered narrow view of life to a more expansive and inclusive embrace of the other. The challenge is to hold on to one’s own spiritual integrity while reaching out to others. Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi embodied this wisdom and in his meeting with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama showed the significance of spiritual imagination for dialogue. We will see how Reb Zalman first established a heart-to-heart connection. Then breaking free of his original agenda, Reb Zalman could follow the Dalai Lama’s curiosity about angels and this spontaneous and exciting exchange led to an extraordinary transcendent moment.

A Ritual of Rememberance – Honoring our Losses and Deepening our Blessings
A Ritual of Rememberance – Honoring our Losses and Deepening our Blessings
Every one has suffered personal, communal, and planetary losses over the past year. We as individuals, and We, the global interconnected web of life, benefit when we come together to create Sacred Space for honoring our losses and deepening our blessings. You are invited to join the Sage-ing Community in this ritual for remembering, sharing, and transforming our collective grief.
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
