With Rabbi Shaya Isenberg, Bahira Sugarman, Lynne Iser, Rabbi Nadya Gross, and Rabbi Victor Gross
A Sage is a person who deserves respect and honor and whose work it is to synthesize wisdom from long life experience and to formulate this into a legacy for future generations.
—The Live Oak Project
- Learn to mentor others in the exciting work of Sage-ing®.
- Learn to be a Wisdom Keeper and teach others to discover their life’s wisdom.
- Learn about the Soul’s journey and how to guide others with their process.
- Bring the Sage-ing® process to your community and friends.
This year-long course provides the training and support that is needed to bring the Sage-ing® work home and to serve as a mentor to others who are embarking on the Sage-ing® path.
As a mentor-in-training, you will learn and/or brush up on the skills needed to work effectively with the Sage-ing® tools, including:
- To communicate the goals and values of Sage-ing®.
- How to use your life skills as a Sage-ing® mentor.
- To guide participants safely through the major Sage-ing® exercises.
During the training period, you will work with a faculty mentor and receive their guidance in designing a mentoring project that utilizes your particular skills and addresses your professional goals. For instance, if you are a congregational rabbi, you’ll have support in introducing the Sage-ing® work to your membership; if you are a therapist, you’ll have help integrating it into your practice.
