Aging invites us into a deeper conversation with ourselves—about meaning, purpose, and the wisdom we carry. Awakening the Sage Within® offers a conscious, soul-centered approach to growing older with intention, clarity, and compassion.
​
In this introductory program, you will explore the core concepts of conscious aging with space to reflect, share lived experience, and explore the inner work of aging in community. This program is inspired by the groundbreaking book From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Profound New Vision of Growing Older by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and is offered as a Sage-ing International Signature Program.
