NOW WHAT?/WHAT NOW?
NOW WHAT?/WHAT NOW?
What: An informal support group for seniors as they reflect on their new identities as persons whose lives are necessarily changing as “The Calendar” brings new challenges, new perspectives, new limitations, and, most importantly, new opportunities.
Why: Life brings changes to all of us. Roles, activities, and responsibilities that gave us satisfaction and identify–or difficulty–fade away, opening opportunities for new engagements that satisfy our needs for community, spirituality, and exploration. Sometimes, those changes also bring limitations– physical, mental, and logistical–that require personal re-orientation and creative thinking. Although each of us experiences these things alone, exploring them with others often develops perspectives that we might not easily achieve otherwise.
Who: We are especially interested in those who are fully retired, especially those whose responsibilities and roles have changed, leaving them with new questions about how they are finding meaning in their lives.
