Navigating the Personal Side of Retirement
Two-part workshop with sessions on April 26 and May 3
Whether you are considering retirement, on the verge or already retired, considering how to approach and live within this important life transition is critical. The act of retirement opens the space and time to focus on what interests you, something you are curious about or something you left behind and can now revisit. It can also be a time of confusion and questioning. Navigating a successful and joyful retirement requires some thought and an openness to the possibilities.
In this two-part workshop led by Susan Terry we will explore the themes to consider in approaching or actively “sitting in” the experience of retirement, such as:
- Phases of retirement
- Power of Purpose/purpose
- How to explore and determine what’s next
- Connection and community building
AND, more… We point the way with resources, insights, and curiosity, and you reinvent.
The workshop fee is $25 for UWRA members and $40 for non-members. This workshop will not be recorded.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTES: During the Zoom sessions closed captioning is available in multiple languages.
