Sacred Aging

"I'm frequently awe-struck as I stand on the brink of the rest of my life ..." from On The Brink of Everything by Parker J. Palmer.  Join this workshop for a taste of the course, entitled, "The Heart of Age-ing with Wisdom and Vitality."  This is a wisdom and contribution-based approach focusing on the importance of the stories, experiences and lessons accumulated throughout the journey of our lives.  The  process can consciously transform the downward arc of age-ing into the upward arc of expanded consciousness that crowns an elder's life with meaning and purpose and joy. The teachings originated from the book,  Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Profound New Vision for Growing Older by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.  Although this is regularly a 12-week course, in the workshop, we will individually complete a few exercises taken from the full course.  A reading list of suggested age-ing books will also be provided and www.sage-ing.org has more information. 

The workshop is facilitated by Sue Schechter, a trained Sage-ing Facilitator through Sage-International.  Sue discovered this path in 2012 and embarked on Making the Rest of It, the Best of It!
