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.

I have been attending Sage-ing almost since
the beginning and have enjoyed every minute
of it—from the books we read and then discussed
to the wonderful day trips we have gone on and
Sue
all the great speakers that have come to our                     
meetings. I would be remiss if I failed to mention
the greatest part of it all is the wonderful friends
we have met and our#1 leaders Chuck and Andy.

For me being part of the sage-ing group has been extremely challenging and an inspirational experience.
This group is made up of phenomenal people who are open to receive change, respect others ideas, acknowledge this just another exciting chapter in their lives.
That we are ever evolving, learning, that our lives don't stop.  That we don't stop changing, we don't stop being, we don't stop believing.  We are all unique in our way.
I thought my life was over, only to learn that it was the beginning, an opening to many new experiences and a return of joy to my life.
Sage-ing group, thank you for what you have added to my life.  I'm forever grateful!
