You have to invest more than just money.
During any big transition, it’s natural to worry about the future. When it’s time to retire, some people fear losing contact with their coworkers, which could result in isolation or loneliness. Other people worry about losing the purpose provided by employment, leaving them feeling aimless. This two-day workshop helps you address such fears at their deepest level and work through them in a program adapted from our book Mindful Retirement.
Where most retirement workshops help you prepare your finances, our workshop helps to strengthen your resilience. Rather than talking about money and investments, we gather important insights from the arts, music, philosophy, and history to show you the dangerous risks faced by new retirees. Then we provide the most reliable, time-tested strategies for facing and overcoming those risks. Our program gets to the core of what really matters, helping you find a firm foundation where you can plant your feet and stand tall for years to come.
This two-day workshop is adapted from Mindful Retirement, written by William Adler and Paul Cockeram. You can read the Introduction to the book by clicking here. It will give you a feel for our style and a comprehensive overview of what we intend to accomplish. Exercises at the end of each chapter will help you put the ideas and insights into action, leaving you with a plan to follow and a path to move forward.
