Journaling from Age-ing to Sage-ing

Virtual

Sage-ing is the definite life task of our elder years, where we seek a valued wholeness about our lives through a focus on inner work.

This task includes consciously harvesting the goodness of our lives and integrating negative past experiences positively into our lives. The Sage-ing process has also been called a “new rite of passage,” or “elderessence.” It is a stage of life new to humanity in the past 50 years as more of us live well beyond our official retirement age.

From age-ing to sage-ing is an on-going inner process. During our virtual sessions, we will journal about our own work of sage-ing in exploring its components noted here:

Questioning Big

Living Grateful

Forgiving and Reconciling

Reframing the Past

Attending to the Inner Dark

Accepting Our Dying

Serving Life

Harvesting Our Lives

This program differs from Mike's recent program on Journaling the Aging Adventure, in that it promotes what we know about what has been called the sage, the wisdom person or the elder. The previous program was meant to do an assessment of where we are now in our lives. These sessions are about growth and transformation of our lives.

Mike Reiling M. Ed is a spiritual teacher who leads journal workshops and programs on Teilhard de Chardin. Mike is also a “sage in process.”
