Workshops within organizations: We work with companies that understand that there is more to retirement planning than the financial aspects and recognize the importance of psycho-social aspects as well. Our workshops help their older workers (aged 55 and up) prepare for a transition into retirement.

General public workshops: We periodically run workshops for the general public and for companies wishing to test our approach before holding our retirement workshops for their employees. Contact us to be placed on our waiting list for the next workshop.

Conferences/mini-workshops: We facilitate dynamic and interactive mini-workshops and conferences aimed at creating awareness about the importance of the psycho-social aspects of retirement planning. We also offer mini-sessions to introduce Positivity at all stages in life.
