Awakening the Sage Within

May 1, 2019 by Kate Brinkley

On Saturday, May 25, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Lynn Moore, PhD, will facilitate a workshop on Sage-ing. This spiritual practice involves harvesting the wisdom of our lives and finding ways to transmit that wisdom as a legacy to future generations. The workshop is limited to 12 participants, so register soon. There’s a $25 fee for materials. To r.s.v.p., contact Lynn, or 828.280.6075.

Sage-ing is a spiritual practice that involves harvesting the wisdom of our lives and finding ways to transmit that wisdom as a legacy to future generations.In developing an elder spiritual practice we pursue the path proposed by Rabbi Zalman Schacter in his seminal book From Age-ing to Sage-ing  which involves, through introspection, the following:

  • Examining  our attitudes and fears about aging and our culture’s stereotypes and claiming our rights to promoting and practicing a new paradigm
  • Connecting to our inner wisdom through growth techniques of psychology and spirituality including meditation, contemplation, journaling and spiritual intimacy (sharing)
  • Learning to nourish ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, socially and spiritually
  • Drawing on the wisdom of what we know now, examining  our past through  a ‘life review’ process and ‘life repair’ exercises
  • Gaining  an understanding that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves, we  learn to forgive those who have offended us, ask forgiveness of those we have offended and practice self-forgiveness above all else
  • We face our own mortality with courage and serenity
