SageWork was built because suffering is not a life sentence — and because the teachings that end it have existed for thousands of years, quietly available to anyone willing to look. We take those teachings seriously. We take the people who find us seriously. And we take the mission seriously: genuine transformation for every human being who is ready for it.
SageWork is not a brand. It is a mission with a brand. The mission is the end of suffering. For all beings. Including you.

Doc Hershey and Sarah Jane Forman are the co-founders of SageWork. Doc is a Harvard fellow, nonprofit executive, contemplative teacher, and author of The Art of Peace. Sarah Jane is his co-host, co-founder, and the other half of everything you see here. Between them, they have spent decades at the intersection of scholarship, service, and the direct encounter with the teachings that actually work.
