Designing Your Retirement: Life Beyond Work (West Vancouver)

West Vancouver Memorial Library
McDonald Creek Room

Most retirement conversations focus on one question:

Do I have enough?

But far fewer ask:

What will my life actually look like when work is no longer the center of it?

This small, in-person session is designed for people who:

• are approaching retirement
• have recently stepped away from work
• or are starting to seriously think about what comes next

Because while most people prepare financially, the real challenge often begins after that.

How you spend your time
What gives your days structure
Where meaning and connection come from

This session explores that gap.

We will cover:

• Why retirement can feel uncertain — even when you’ve planned well
• What tends to be lost when work disappears (beyond income)
• What actually creates a meaningful and structured next phase of life
• How to start thinking about this as a “second adulthood”
• A simple way to identify what matters most before time quietly fills itself

You will also go through a small number of guided exercises to help:

• Reflect on your current reality
• Identify areas that may need more attention
• Begin to define what a meaningful next chapter could look like for you

This is not a presentation.

It is a small, structured, and conversational session designed to help you think more clearly about something most people avoid until it’s too late.

• Group size: limited to 10 people
• Duration: 90 minutes
• Format: guided, interactive, reflective
• No prior preparation required

If you’ve been thinking about what comes next — even quietly — this is a place to start.
