With an agreement with Sage-ing International, the Women's Connection MSP Chapter is offering Women's Connections members from all chapters the opportunity to participate in the seven session: Deepening the Sage Within Workshop.
In his 1995 book From Age-ing to Sag-ing, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, the most influential Jewish change-maker of his generation, created a new way of looking at aging in the second half of life called “Sage-ing.” Instead of seeing this stage of life as a time of loss and diminishment, Sage-ing affirms the importance of aging as a time for deep reflection, continued learning, and spiritual growth.
In this workshop, You will....
- discuss how ageism may be adversely affecting your life
- learn some tools that help you let go of grievances and forgive
- begin to recognize how the stories you have consciously or unconsciously created have shaped your life
- help you to explore ways to leave a legacy of love that goes way beyond your legal will
- learn how to embrace mortality or impermanence as a good thing
- discuss how you can continue to be of service as an elder Sage-ing is a model for engaging more deliberately, more joyfully, and more compassionately as we grow old
Who will benefit from taking this workshop:
- Older adults who wish to design the next stage of life and the lives they touch by aging consciously
- Professionals and caregivers who work with older adults
- Clergy, spiritual directors, social workers, hospice workers
- All people who are interested in exploring a new paradigm of the life cycle as described by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi in his best-selling book From Age-ing to Sage-ing.
