Most people spend decades planning financially for retirement.
Far fewer spend time preparing emotionally, relationally, or practically for the life that follows.

And yet, one of the biggest transitions of adulthood is rarely talked about honestly.

Who am I beyond my work?
What will give my days shape and meaning?
How do relationships change when schedules do?
What happens when achievement is no longer the primary driver?
What kind of life do I actually want to build now?

The Retirement Rehearsal is a guided six-week coaching circle for people approaching retirement, semi-retirement, or simply sensing that the next chapter of life deserves more intention.

This is not a financial planning seminar.

It is a thoughtful, practical, and deeply human conversation about identity, purpose, relationships, health, rhythm, contribution, and what it means to create a life worth arriving into.

Over six weeks, participants will explore:

• the emotional side of retirement and transition
• redefining identity beyond career
• creating meaningful structure and rhythm
• relationships, friendship, and community
• purpose, contribution, and curiosity
• health, energy, and longevity
• unfinished dreams and postponed parts of self
• what a fulfilling “third act” could actually look like

Each 90-minute session includes:

• a short teaching or reflection
• facilitated conversation
• coaching questions
• practical exercises
• peer discussion in a trusted small-group setting

Participants can expect thoughtful conversation, meaningful reflection, practical insight, and the rare opportunity to explore these questions alongside others asking similar things.

Inspired by the ideas and thought leadership found in From Strength to Strength (Arthur C. Brooks), Falling Upward (Richard Rohr), The Good Life (Robert Waldinger & Marc Schulz), and Life Is in the Transitions (Bruce Feiler), this coaching circle explores what it means to navigate the second half of life with greater intention, meaning, and courage.
