What's Next in Your Life? A Spiritual Guide to Retirement and Purposeful Aging - A Retreat Day for our Senior Lay Friends

As you consider your retirement years and grasp the reality of growing older, this workshop will explore the benefits and joys as well as the challenges and concerns ahead. How do we live this stage of our life well and see aging as a blessing? The combination of reduced work responsibilities and growing older provides an opportunity to live life differently and more contemplatively, moving from “doing” to “being.” Discover how we can share our Spirit-given gifts, talents, and experiences in new ways that bring joy to ourselves and others and give continued meaning and purpose to our lives.

“It is not how old you are, but how you are old.”  Jules Renard
