Description

As each generation is living longer, more active lives, people in midlife and beyond, who are married, divorced, single or widowed, recent empty nesters, still working or retired, are finding themselves asking the same question: How will I spend the next 20, 30 or even 40 years?

 

In this workshop Amy will implement creative visualizations, hands-on expressive art and writing exercises, current research findings, and group discussion and feedback to move beyond “intermission” into a rich and rewarding “third act.” Please bring a notebook or journal and a small set of oil pastels.
