Does it feel that you have things to do, places to go, people to meet…. but something’s missing?
Does it seem that, in retirement, your life has lost a sense of meaning or that you’re just marking time? What if it doesn’t need to be like that?
We often hear the phrase 'a work in progress' and it's usually used in the context of younger people. But what if it's always true, no matter our age?
In this interactive session you’ll get the chance to explore that missing bit. To find out why you’ve never stopped being a work in progress and that you can reconnect with that sense of yourself.
Participants will need to have a pen and paper in order to fully participate.
