6:00 to 7:30 pm
Topic:  Health and Wellness

• Physical well-being is not only about what you eat and drink and what you do for physical activity. It’s also about slowing down, being mindful, living with intention, having a positive attitude and being resilient.
• Included is an interactive discussion about what we all do to create wellness in our lives: physically, emotionally and mentally.

Tuesday, October 16, 2018
6:00 to 7:30 pm
Topic:  The Uncertainty of Transition

• Transition is the inner process of change. Understanding that and learning to effectively deal with the emotional aspects of retirement is an important part of the process.
• Learning the art of flourishing in retirement by integrating your core values with the decisions you make during the various stages of retirement – while utilizing your strengths – will contribute positively to your emotional and mental well-being.

Tuesday, October 30, 2018
6:00 to 7:30 pm
Topic:  Personal Development

• The new retirement mentality focuses on renewal, rewiring, re-inventing, and re-invigorating.
• Do you want to continue to work or do you want to learn something new? Are you a goal-setter who wants to continue to accomplish and achieve?  Do you want to learn a new hobby or activity?
• Any and all of these options will help with neural plasticity, the ability to rewire the brain. Brain “fitness” is just as important as physical fitness.

6:00 to 7:30 pm
Topic:  Connections & Community:  Your Family, Relationships and Social Life

• How will you fill your time during retirement?
