Sage-ing touches all the large questions of life:
"What really matters?"
"What is the meaning of my life?"
"What is my purpose?"
Imagine a society where:
-
Creativity and personal growth are affirmed and supported in the second half of life
-
Elders are encouraged to discover new meaning and purpose in their daily lives after retirement
-
People with many years of life experience have an honoured place and voice
-
Elders are sought after for their skills and wisdom
Sāge-ing

The act of approaching aging as a journey of deepening wisdom, continued learning and expanding possibilities.

A process of self development that enhances interpersonal relationships, hones communication skills, and cultivates a valuation of Elders as mentors and wise counsel in community.

The act of harvesting life's wisdom as a legacy for future generations.
-
An inherently spiritual practice based on principles that are not specific to any faith or denomination but serve to enhance spiritual maturity.
