Many people face retirement from paid work as they face any liminal time: full of uncertainty, loss of identity, loss of meaning. It may trigger a late-life identity crisis, as we lose past roles and out-worn identities. The perennial question arises again: “Who am I?”
This presentation will explore a depth psychological approach to retirement — from the inside out. It offers shadow-work and contemplative practices to let go, explore liminality, and emerge renewed as we learn to shift our identities from Hero to Elder, from doing to being, from role to soul.
