Sage-ing International Empowering Elders

Are you in the second half of life and wondering what’s next?

Sage-ing may be your answer!

Conscious Aging Conscious Living

Sage-ing® International is recognized globally for helping elders embrace their role as leaders, sharing wisdom and spirit essential for empowering individuals and communities through turbulent times to create a better world for, and with all generations.

Sage-ing is a way of living the second half of our lives that is joyful, fulfilling, and beneficial.

Sage-ing means living our later years creatively and with purpose; it means harvesting the accumulated wisdom of our years and sharing it with all generations.

Sage-ing means enriching the lives of others as we expand and inform our own. Sage-ing can empower you to add more years to your life and more life to your years!

Sage-ing International is a community of elders around the globe whose mission is to create a world that respects and honors elders, helping them grow into the role of sage or a wise elder.

OUR VISION & MISSION

Vision

Sage-ing International transforms the second half of life into a new and dynamic way of growing older –Sage-ing– a time filled with grace, wisdom, resilience, and purpose. We create a better world for current and future generations.

Mission

Sage-ing International redefines aging as a vibrant time of life. Through educational programs, service, and community, we chart a path that helps to turn a lifetime of experience into spiritual growth and wisdom for this new chapter of life.

How We Realize Our Vision and Mission

Learning: We offer the opportunity to experience the journey of conscious aging through workshops, conferences, webinars, and publications. The Sage-ing Leader Certification Program creates a network of Sage-ing Leaders throughout the world to share the Sage-ing philosophy and approach.

Service: We embody the Qualities of a Sage. We support elders in doing their own spiritual work to serve their families, their communities, and the planet. We encourage and invite volunteer service to Sage-ing International.

Community: We provide opportunities for individuals on their Sage-ing journeys to share and connect with others. We build community, both in-person and online, through workshops and webinars, wisdom circles, intergenerational relationships, volunteer projects, and partnering and collaborating with organizations that share our vision.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death [...]
