Planning for Retirement - An Empty Wasteland or a Fulfilling Adventure.

It’s such a big transition, from a working life to whatever happens on the days after you leave the workplace for the last time. In this series of workshops Christine Hamilton and Lani Morris work with you to explore and make sense of all the options and possibilities that you could choose. We will work with simple processes, including the Map of Meaning framework, to help you make your own decisions about what is most likely to work for you, in this new and self-created life. 

In this series of five weekly x 2 hour workshops, we explore the challenge of moving from a busy working life into the unstructured space of retirement.

It can be exciting to have time for ourselves; it can also be unsettling to be without the status and structure that work provides.

Session One: 

We begin with looking at the reality of retirement – what are our current situation, assets, challenges, and also at our fears and hopes for this period of our lives. How we might prepare ourselves for this major change and plan it effectively.

Session Two

In this session we take a deep dive into what we really want for ourselves and begin to see how the Map of Meaning can guide us in our decisions. And how we can begin to disengage from our past in order to make room for our new future.

Session Three

In this session we explore what we need to do to feel as safe as possible as we take new steps into the unknown, and explore the hunches, roads not taken, flashes of inspiration and sources of excitement that may lead to our new life.

Session Four

As we step forward we need to draw on all the skills we have, and we also identify some skills we may want to develop.  And we think about who we might choose to have as companions in the adventures ahead.  What support do we really want and need and how do we ask for it?

Session Five

We end with a sense of standing strongly in ourselves, looking towards a future that might be unknown, but which we feel confident we can move towards creating.  We create the plans and practical structures that can support us going forward.

These sessions will be followed by 3 x 1 hour re-convening with the group to find out how we are all going, swap ideas and experiences and cheer each other on.

The workshops are led by Christine Hamilton, Occupational Psychologist and Lani Morris, world authority on the Map of Meaning.  Our two presenters are living examples of working through this transition. Lani Morris is a serial entrepreneur and still working in her late seventies, because she loves to. Christine Hamilton is in the process of ‘growing up’, assessing the resources she has accumulated over a life-time while coming to terms with some of the regrets…

Both are experts in the use of the Map of Meaning in retirement
