The Initiation of the Sage: Igniting the Power of Experience
Held in the majestic green mountains of glorious Southern Oregon, this weeklong residential intensive invites those over 50 to a meaningful ceremony where their lives are honored, their abilities recognized, their spirit rekindled and their passage into the role of Sage is marked by a sacred initiation ceremony.
The Initiation of the Sage has a two-fold purpose. During the first portion of the program, through deep processes and rituals, you learn to exchange old cultural misperceptions of aging and take on the mantle of Sage, a carrier of wisdom for our time. In a sea of candlelight you'll journey deep into the mystery of your own soul, and touch the Infinite Source of your life. You'll emerge with a vibrant focus on how best to optimize the many gifts and experiences that you have amassed over your lifetime and step into becoming a positive presence for good in the world.
The second part of the week trains you to bring these concepts and practices to your friends and organizations through your own seminars. "The Calling of the Sage" will enable you to share the empowerment, new roles and opportunities for meaningful service in the second half of life. This profound course is the first in a series of Passages Programs in which critical transitions in life are honored through training, ceremony and a deeper awareness of what it is to live as a sacred human.
Interspersed during the week will also be trips to spiritual power places in the region and a night of celebration at the famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
If a student would like certification in the program in order to teach it and be included on the Passages Resource Roster, he or she will be tested. The testing at the end of the Intensive evaluates the student's understanding of the concepts, sensitivity to facilitating ritual, ability to create and sustain a ceremonial consciousness and empathy towards those entering the program. A student may exercise the option to be certified when they enroll or during the course.
