Awakening the Sage Within – A Gathering for Men

What’s important is taking the first step in moving from aging to sage-ing.  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.

Awakening the Sage Within is a program that serves as an excellent intro-duction to Sage-ing’s core topics (Images of Aging, Life Review, Forgiveness, Facing Mortality, Legacy, and Service). It provides the tools and resources needed to explore the aging years in order to navigate our lives with greater understanding and purpose. 

 

Why a men’s group? We believe the present moment requires men of all walks of life, to take a step back from their lives as they know it, and to explore the possible answers that may come from a program such as an ASW. We welcome you to share your love with us, to explore your inner voice, and to do this with other men in the same moment.

 

We look forward to being with you.
