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.



About Us

Chuck Warren first heard of the Sage-ing Program in 2000 while at a dinner in Winter Park, Florida where he dined with the director of a Sage-ing Center.

Chuck
Inspired by what he heard, he approached
Nat West, a vice-president of Winter Haven Hospital, to suggest the hospital sponsor such a program. To learn more, they attended a weekend seminar and came away enthused about starting a program in Winter Haven.

The hospital generously supported the Sage-ing Program until early 2010 at which time the program moved to its present location at The Center for Personal Growth in downtown Winter Haven.

It has grown from a two hour a week workshop in 2000 to having a variety of classes supporting the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical betterment of those in their second half of life.
