“Retirement Reimagined” Workshop To Be Offered

 

Taking a new view of the transition to retirement, Next Chapter: Retirement Reimagined, is a four-session workshop being offered by the Shepherd’s Center of Greater Winston-Salem. The workshop is for anyone who is already retired or contemplating retirement. It focuses on the non-financial side of retirement planning such as: deciding when or if to retire; managing one’s time; deciding where to live; the right volunteer or part-time work fits; interests and hobbies; couples in retirement; and other social, emotional, health and spiritual issues.

 

Through presentations, worksheets and activities, and group discussion, the workshop will explore meaning and purpose in one’s retirement years, assess those interests and skills available to reinvest beyond one’s chosen career, and create a personal plan from among the many options retirement presents for continued personal growth.

 

Each weekly session builds upon the previous ones and is a part of an integrated group experience. While unforeseen circumstances arise, individuals should be able to commit to attend all four sessions.

 

When: March 21 & 28 and April 4 & 11, 2023 from 4 – 6:00 p.m. Workshop limited to 16 participants.

 

Where: The Shepherd’s Center of Greater Winston-Salem, 1700 Ebert Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27103

 

Facilitators: Pamela Karr, Career Counselor and Certified Professional Retirement Coach; and Susan Hunsinger, M.D.

 

Fee: A registration fee of $45 for the workshop covers the cost of resource materials and refreshments. Reservations are required by March 10!  Enrollment is limited to 16 and reservations are required!
