THE CONTEMPORARY ELDER RETREAT THE SET UP AND THE VIDEO

Author • January 23, 2023

How you age is a choice, not a conclusion.

 

The Contemporary Elder Retreat is for late-aged professionals seeking what’s next and engaged in the disturbing transfiguration of aging.

 

IDENTIFYING CANDIDATES

·   Has crossed the threshold from middle age to early late age. (64 – 75)

·   Already has, or soon will be, departing a successful professional career.

·   Has troubling and intruding existential questions about the last and final third of their lives. Who will they be, and what will they do in the future?

·   Feels the unavoidable and expanding marginalization, isolation, and loss of importance.

·   Has a growing sense of loss of personal power and purpose.

·   Undecided. Uncertain. Unclear. Perplexed.

·   Descending through this narrowing place of late aging, now with more significant consequences.

 

ENGAGED IN THE FOLLOWING INQUIRIES – CANDIDATE

·   How do I handle departing my career, business, and industry relationships and recognition?

·   How do I deal with my awakened sense of impermanence?

·   How best do I handle my marginalization, isolation, and loss of identity?

·   How do I regain my power and purpose?

·   Who will I be if I’m not my past and former identity?

THE INVITATION FOR CANDIDATES

·   The invitation is for qualified candidates to participate in a retreat that offers a beneficial and conscious way of dealing with the inevitable physical, psychological, and ontological changes that occur in career completion and alteration of personage by moving older as a context to elder, elder becoming the context for your lasting life.
