It is said that as we age, we gain more wisdom. A Sage, as we have seen in movies or read in books, is a person (or perhaps a character) who is an exemplary model of interior wisdom, a teacher, and has a connection with the Divine. As we grow into our adulthood, we begin to experience fundamental shifts that give us pause to question life’s meaning and our purpose. Each decade leads us to a place of less doing and more being. We are drawn to reflect on our self-evolution and appreciate the rhythm of changes in life. This retreat is an invitation to take a contemplative journey to search for the sage within — a journey that will empower us to harness the wisdom of our lives to learn, grow, and deepen our humanity and meaning as we move on in years. Our time together will include presentation, small and large group conversation, prayer, and silent reflection. Silence will be recommended during various times of the retreat to provide us the space we need to listen deeply, so we can reflect on our inner and spiritual life. Lunch is included. Guided by Sharon Scibek.
