RetireEase!
I'm working hard so you can retire with ease! Stay tuned.
In the meantime, take a peek…
What you can expect from participating in the RetireEase! 6 week program:
The exciting RetireEase! program is for individuals who may be facing the transition to retirement with a little trepidation, or with a lot of enthusiasm, or both!
Whether retirement results in no employment, part-time employment, or entirely new ventures, it can be a tremendous transition for some. This phase of life is concerned with learning how to utilize free time, facing declining vitality and end-of-life issues, reevaluating priorities and the meaning of one’s life, and possibly even relocation.
It can also be an exciting time where one feels a freedom to learn new things, take on new challenges, develop a sense of inner peace, spend additional time with family, and discover new social networks.
RetireEase! is focused on specific tasks and interventions each of the 6 weeks.
As a participant you will:
- learn how to set goals
- learn about leisure opportunities
- clarifying your life and leisure values
- create a written plan for a leisure lifestyle in retirement
- developing a sense of self in, and appreciation for, leisure
Activities include:
- guided visualization
- values exploration
- leisure education
- discussion-based meetings focused on exploring the implications of creating a leisure lifestyle in retirement
Research exists supporting individuals through transitions in later life that include values clarification and leisure education. The overall goal for this program is ensuring a sense of well-being and creating the highest quality of life possible during this often stressful but exciting time.
RetireEase! will also be offered as a one-day workshop through companies, businesses, and organizations. You may be able to participate at no cost to you if your employer provides this program!
