Summary

During this webinar, we will generate some of the questions and themes to consider in approaching or actively “sitting in” the experience of retirement. We will be discussing themes such as purpose, community, reflection, curiosity, and exploration. How we adapt to this new phase of life and how we address this transition lies at the heart of a healthy—or not-so-healthy— restructuring.
