Welcome to the website for Sage-ing in Polk County

Thanks for visiting Sage-ing. Here you'll learn what Sage-ing is and all about the programs we offer. We would welcome you to join us.

Welcome To Sage-ing

A sage is a wise person. Therefore Sage-ing is a journey into wisdom. We don't become wiser just because we grow older, but rather we must do inner work to grow in wisdom. The Sage-ing Program helps us do this inner work through deep discussions and studying the thoughts of men and women who have a deep spiritual understanding.

Our classes also help us to develop a greater understanding of ourselves and others through writing about the lives we have led, learning to meditate and working towards understanding our dreams.

Trip to Buddhist Temple

     On Thursday, January 27, 2011 sixteen members of the Sage-ing II group piled into four cars and went to see the beautiful Buddhist Temple in Kissimmee, Florida.
 
     The temple is decorated with symbols of the Buddhist religion depicting various events in Buddha's life. We also toured the grounds where there are a number of small replicas of religious shrines from around the world.

     The temple was built from funds sent over from Thailand and the monks are from Thailand. We had the oportunity to speak with one of them who struggled with English, but spoke good enough to give us some information and answer a few questions.

     The temple and grounds are beautiful and interesting, well worth the short trip to Kissimmee. If you would like to know more about the Buddhist program in that area go to http://www.watflorida.org/.
