Session One
Transition and Curiosity
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 3.30 - 5.00 PM
Description
This discussion-based series is designed for group conversations on the topic of transitioning into the “Third Act” or post-retirement phase of life. Through readings, videos, writing prompts and dialog, participants will gain greater clarity on what brings meaning and purpose to the future that lies ahead. Even if you are not yet retired and are experiencing another type of crossroads professionally or personally, the targeted exercises in the series will give you space for personal reflection as you navigate a new stage of life.
The course will meet weekly for 4 consecutive weeks in the afternoon and explore themes of transition, purpose, connection and resources.
