Ease Into Your Next Chapter
Retirement is a major life transition, one that invites each of us to create a lifestyle that honors who we are and who we are becoming. Some people are stepping away from jobs that never reflected their true interests, while others are leaving careers that felt central to their identity. Either way, the shift into retirement brings questions about meaning, purpose, connection, and daily rhythm.
Many people focus on saving for retirement but give little thought to what life will actually be like once they get there. This retreat offers space to explore the non‑financial side of retirement and to begin easing into this new chapter with greater clarity and intention. It is designed for those preparing to retire in the next few years as well as those who have already retired and want to shape a more satisfying experience.
During our time together, we will explore the mental, social, physical, and spiritual components of retirement. Insightful resources will be shared, and participants will engage in thought‑provoking exercises that support the creation of a meaningful, grounded, and personally aligned retirement lifestyle. Lunch is included. Guided by Jenifer Kirin.
