Questions this will help you answer

Eight expeditions – These expeditions are weekly workshops that are both fun and practical. Each expedition is focused on a different essential retirement topic and will include interactive components, tools, discussion, worksheets, and activities to complete at home.

You can start by signing up for the first four expeditions.

  • What is Your plan?

  • What is Your purpose?

  • What are Your passions and pursuits?

  • What is Your path?

  • Who are Your people?

  • What is Your place?

  • How to focus on Your physical and mental health?

  • What does it mean to be present and create a meaningful retirement?

The goal is to finish this course with more confidence, peace of mind, and joy for your upcoming or current retirement. We want you to be excited about your future and look forward to the pursuits, hobbies, curiosities you have planned, and mastering the art of meaningful work.

The first four expeditions will guide you through creating a plan to manage your time, discover your passions and core pursuits, focus on your purpose, make an individualized purpose statement, and end with designing your clear path forward. Not only will you have a retirement consultant to instruct and guide you, but you will also be able to meet other community members in the same stage of life.

Each week, you will have worksheets to fill out, interactive components, fun integration activities, and content to take home.

The subsequent four expeditions will include people, places, physical and mental health, and presence. Once those are complete, you can also hire Tara Bruce for one-on-one retirement consulting sessions, where you will dive deeper into curating your plan and have someone encourage and guide you on your journey toward and through retirement.
