Inventing the Next Chapter of Your Life

Facing a major life change? Retirement? Empty nest? Divorce? New job? During big transitions, having a framework for self-reflection can increase satisfaction, provide a forum for exploring feelings, maintain equilibrium and reduce overall stress. This course will introduce processes for identifying values, goals and activities that will help make your transition, with all its challenges, into an opportunity to live more expansively. We’ll use an assortment of techniques, including journaling, doodling, improv games, group discussion, and brief stories and lectures. At any level of experience, students will learn new methods for dealing with the upheaval of change. We will create a community in which everyone feels safe to experiment, explore and try out possible new directions.
