Judy Steiert created Elderquest Options to encompass the variety of workshops which evolved from her training as a Certified Sage-ing® Leader (CSL) with Sage-ing® International www.sage-ing.org in 2003-2004.
Her original course The Inner Work of the Sage included the basic eight modules: Images of Aging, Sage-ing® as a Spiritual Journey, Life Review, Life Repair/Forgiveness, Embracing Mortality, Legacy, Mentoring, and Sages in Service as outlined in the book From Age-ing to Sage-ing® (1995) by Zalmon Schachter Shalomi.
Write to Witness Your Life provided an outline for Life Review, one of the modules. Elder Wisdom in Movies allowed us to view and discuss images of older actors in roles related to Aging with Purpose, Grace and Ease.
An interview on the Shift Network during the Transforming Aging Summit in 2015 launched a greater awareness of elder actors and relevant topics related to aging. The title was Images of Aging in Film. Judy has also presented at Sage-ing® conferences in
