This course is designed to explore and somewhat rewrite Act III of our lives. Retirement need not be a winding down phase. It can be a new beginning, the start of a new life journey of vastly expanded proportion. It can be a time of living life fully, with joy, meaning, harmony and sparkle.
We will examine topics such as society's perspective of retirement versus our own, and how finding new purpose and meaning affects life satisfaction, leisure activities and change. We will also discuss how retirement affects family and relationships; learning and growing; post-retirement work/career; health; crafting/revising vision; purpose and mission for the later years.
The text for the course will be a small book, The New Retirement - Discovering Your Dream. An on-line (or paper, if preferred) retirement success questionnaire generating an individualized report for each participant will be encouraged but is optional.
The format will be open for lively discussion and learning from each of our life experiences. The readings and preparation time will be about one hour per session.
Class is limited to 15 members.
