Awakening the Sage Within

Saturday, Sept. 15, 9 am-4 pm, Compassionate Ocean Zen Center, 652 17th Ave. NE. Today, most people approaching elderhood can expect to live another 20-30 years. How do you want to live those years? Sage-ing (also known as Spiritual Eldering or Conscious Aging) is a model for engaging the elder years more deliberately, more joyfully, and more compassionately. Sage-ing can help us to develop a balanced plan for eldering that is personally fulfilling and also beneficial to others. During this highly interactive workshop, they will introduce Sage-ing concepts including life review, forgiveness work and issues surrounding mortality. They will explore images of aging and the role of spiritual development in the capstone chapter of life. Finally, they will begin development of a personalized plan for their own eldering, including service to others and leaving a legacy.
