Perspective on the Horizon
(age 60s-70s to retirement)
Of course you’ve planned for retirement, but what do you do now?

Joni and Laura can help you find your purpose and meaning in life as you transition toward retirement, but continue to work on your life’s legacy. Not only will you be coached on how to develop mentoring relationships and share your expertise with the next generation, but also you’ll be guided to look ahead at what’s on the horizon for you personally. Stress reduction and wellness techniques will be at the forefront of this program.
Each Program offers:
