Sage-ing Mentorship, sometimes referred to as spiritual eldering or wise aging, is the work available to us with a focus on one's later years. With the greater longevity of today’s generations, we have the opportunity, through meditation, journaling, and intimate conversation, to continue to grow emotionally, intellectually and, especially spiritually — even when some of our physical capacities may have declined. Key components of Sage-ing include life review, forgiveness, and creating a legacy.
As a graduate of ALEPH's Sage-ing Mentorship Program, and the Wise Aging program of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, I am certified to teach courses and guide others in this expansive exploration of one's life wisdom.
Like spiritual direction, this work can be done individually and in groups, or can be integrated with individual and group spiritual direction practice.
