From Age-ing to Sage-ing is a series of three gatherings over three months based on the book of the same name by Zalman Schacter-Shalomi and Ronald S. Miller.
The gatherings will be in the form of a Circle of Trust where we will be guided by certain principles that allow for respectful listening and opportunity for silence and contemplation.
Schachter- Shalomi claims that elders “are wisdomkeepers who have an ongoing responsibility for maintaining society’s wellbeing and safeguarding the health of our ailing planet Earth.”
