As people prepare for retirement, having a “continued calling or vocation” and finding meaning and purpose post-career typically do not receive the same attention as other kinds of retirement planning. This web seminar focuses on creative retirement as a time to consider one’s gifts, confront questions of meaning and purpose and look at “vocation” in a new light by examining one’s spiritual foundations and support.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

• State the important spiritual concerns in retirement;
• Analyze ideas of vocation or calling;
• Explain eight Principles for Creative Retirement; and,
• Apply four ideas for building spiritual support.

Presenters:
