Retirement Happiness: Planning Your Next Stage of Life

At the end of this retreat, you’ll be able to:

• Identifysourcesofmeaningandpurposeforyour next stage of life.• Determinehowtostayengagedandconnected after you retire.• Explorenewapproachestoyourhealthand medical care.• Understandthefinancialconnectionstohappiness.

Retirement is changing! Rather than decades of pure leisure, it can be a life stage filled with new forms of engagement and purpose. While financial security and good health provide a foundation, they aren’t enough. Emerging research shows the importance of addressing the social and psychological aspects of retirement as well. You’ll learn new concepts and practical approaches.

A Fresh Map of LifeAs humans live longer, healthier lives, we’re re-examining traditional ideas of work and retirement. Instead of being put out to pasture, this workshop shows you how and where you can look for new opportunities and positive challenges.

Putting Money in Its PlaceFinancial preparation for retirement is absolutely essential. However, even with financial security, we can end up feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Instead, learn how to use money to create more life satisfaction in retirement.

Approaches to Health and VitalityAging is a part of retirement, which leads to greater use of the health care system. You’ll learn how to determine which types of medical care you’re most likely to seek in the future, and what practices will help maintain your vitality as you age.

New Roles and RelationshipsPeople identify deeply with their work roles, and build strong relationships with coworkers. Losing those roles at retirement can leave us isolated and unfulfilled. You’ll learn how to navigate the transition, and make new connections.

Putting Your Strengths to WorkUsing our strengths and skills brings engagement and meaning to our work lives. Finding new outlets for those skills in retirement is one of the surest paths to happiness. This workshop helps you identify and harness some of the best parts of yourself.

During this retreat, you’ll use an interdisciplinary model to plan your next stage of life. This holistic approach helps you identify your greatest resources and opportunities—and also address unforeseen challenges.

After participating in this program, you will be able to:

1. Understand the elements of well-being in retirement.

2. Develop goals and objectives based on your personal values.

3. Identify action steps to take for creating the life you want to live.
