You can still register for the remaining virtual workshops in the Fall JHU Pre-Retirement Program series.

Envisioning Retirement—A Guided Visual Journaling Exercise

How about taking a mindful moment to visualize what your days in retirement may look like? Join Rachel Liccardo as she leads the group through a guided visual-journaling activity. This exercise will help you learn ways to reduce stress around approaching retirement and to open up about your emotions or challenges. You will need a piece of paper and something with which to write. Artistic ability is not a requirement, but if you enjoy arts and crafts, feel free to use supplies to make a colorful visual. This workshop is available only to Johns Hopkins affiliates, not guests. Space is limited.
This webinar will not be recorded. Register in advance here.
