Who am I becoming as the life I’ve known changes?

✨More to discover, create, and become...✨

We hear a great deal about preparing financially and physically for aging. But what about preparing emotionally?

The roles that defined us shift. Our children need us differently. Work changes or ends. Our bodies ask us to adjust. Relationships change, and sometimes we find ourselves wondering where we belong — or what comes next.

There are losses to honor, fears to speak aloud, and unexpected freedoms to discover. There is still room for curiosity, connection, laughter, and growth.

Join us for six evenings of honest conversation about the emotional side of aging. Through brief reflections, guided exercises, journaling, and optional sharing, we’ll explore:

• Letting go of who we used to be and discovering who we are now.

• Changing roles and relationships, including empty nesting, retirement, and caregiving.

• Living with uncertainty and vulnerability, and allowing ourselves to need others.

• Loneliness, solitude, and belonging — finding the connection we need.

• Grief and loss, including the grief that begins before goodbye.

• The freedom to be ourselves, with less need for others’ approval.

• What still wants to grow in us — purpose, creativity, and joy in an ordinary Tuesday.

You don’t need to have answers. Come with your questions, your experience, and your willingness to listen. Sharing is always optional. Together, we’ll make room for what is difficult and what is still possible.

Our lives are changing. Our capacity to grow is still here. What comes next is still ours to discover...​
