About the Event

As you think about your retirement years and move into this next chapter of your life, this retreat 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 retirement and growing older provides an opportunity to live life differently and more contemplatively, moving from “doing” to “be—ing.” Discover how we can share our Spirit—given gifts, talents, and experience in new ways and give continued meaning and purpose to our lives.

Based on feedback from prior attendees, we have expanded this retreat to an entire weekend.
