OLLI Experience: Beyond 55 and Finishing Strong Retreat: Embracing the Good Life, Awe, and Possibilities (Tamasag Center)

When younger, we were asked, “WHAT do you want to be?” Beyond 55, reflecting on WHO and HOW we want to be is liberating. Moving beyond an achievement identity, many adopt a “growing” and "experimenting" lifestyle. Join us at Tamasag’s “in nature” setting for this very popular day of reflection and safe and structured group conversations. We'll experience "deep listening", community, and a chance to explore possibilities by

1. Clarify your personal “Good Life” (personalized definition of success)
2. Find moments of Awe (savor their impact)
3. Clarify intentions (create a Purpose and Life Design Statement)
4. Reflect on 5 “Ultimate Questions” (about living & dying with grace, dignity & some mischief)
5. Explore “What’s Next” possibilities (with affirmative peer feedback)
6. Craft your list of “Tiny Habits” to “Finish Strong”

Note: A morning snack, coffee and tea are included with your registration. Participants should plan to bring their own lunch.
