Women's Coffee Get Together - Conversations about Retirement

After decades of juggling work/home responsibilities, retirement offers a chance to live with more freedom, wisdom and appreciation while having some fun along the way. At least, that's what all the retirement workshops tell you. However, the transition to retirement is often not easy and unanticipated emotions can have you wondering "what now?", " who am I now?", " what comes next?". Join us to chat and share experiences during this transitional time. For pre-retirees, a chance to hear about what to expect, for new retirees a chance to talk to other people about what they are experiencing and for seasoned retirees a chance to offer some insight.
While there are many articles popping up around retirement some consistent themes seem to be: 1) The importance of a daily structure, 2) Rediscovering who you are, 3) If you share your life with a partner what adjustments does that require , 4) Loss of your work identity, 5) Importance of a social network, 6) What is your purpose at this stage of life. Not everyone's experiences are the same but if any of these points resonates with you come join us. Had a great discussion at the first get together, looking forward to future discussions.
