Wisdom Circle Facilitator: Elder facilitator with experience running groups to discover mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves and spiritual healing.

Sage-ing(r) International (SI) has encouraged the formation of Wisdom Circles (sometimes called Elder Circles or Salons) for a number of years as an effective way to create meaningful Community for our Sage-ing members and friends in the second half of life. Additionally, Wisdom Circles provide significant Education opportunities for participants through their facilitated discussions of topics of interest to elders. Finally, Wisdom Circles are a Service to our local community and to those who participate. Thus, Wisdom Circles include all the legs (Community, Education and Service) of the three-legged stool of local involvement that SI promotes.

A Wisdom Circle is...

v An opportunity to explore and share what is deeply meaningful to each of us regarding the journey from aging to Sage-ing(r).

v A dialogue that focuses on topics related to aging and the changing role of elders in our society.

v A safe, respectful place to explore our feelings about growing older.

v A place for learning some tools to become wise sages.

v A community of like-minded persons.

Why Create a Wisdom Circle?

To Support Each Other:

v In assuming our rightful place in our family and in society.

v In becoming appropriate role models for younger generations.

v In appreciating our elder years as an essential part of the human experience.

v In discovering the new role of elders as we live longer, healthier lives.

v In discovering mental and emotional aspects of ourselves that may have been neglected earlier in life.

v In becoming leaders with a unique vision for the world that comes with having lived a long life.

v Through discussion of topics such as self-love, developing wisdom, forgiveness, facing mortality, leaving a legacy and other Sage-ing(r) teachings.
