Is the idea of retirement a positive or a negative for you? Americans are particularly ambivalent about retirement. Our ideas about age and about work encourage many of us to avoid thinking about retirement and to put it off as long as we can, and retirement doesn't work for some people. Indeed, after retirement many choose to go back to work and not primarily for economic reasons. Yet, an international survey identified the decade of the sixties as the most satisfying time of life, a time of enhanced freedom and opportunity.
On the four Wednesdays in October, Jim Dealing will facilitate discussion of this important chapter in our lives. The plan is to include retirees and those not yet retired, to discuss in small groups their concerns and their experience. We will discuss the pros and cons of retirement, exploring a variety of relevant issues, including health, social connections, meaning and purpose, and spiritual dimensions. The objective is how best to make the most of this time.
The class will run from 7-8 or 8:30pm. It may be held on Zoom or in person, depending on the COVID threat at that time. Please let Jim Dealing know if you are, or may be interested in participating.
