This program is designed for women over fifty who are in the process of reinventing themselves as they become empty nesters, reduce their work hours, no longer have caring responsibilities for aging parents, or perhaps retire. It can be an exciting and daunting time of change, and this program helps women navigate it with confidence and clarity. The program provides a supportive space for those who enjoy self-reflection to connect with like-minded women on the journey to living life on their terms and redefine what it means to flourish in this exciting new chapter. Each session provides an opportunity to deep-dive into an aspect of ‘re-invention’ and combines activities, tools, frameworks, shared reflections and a dollop of best practice evidence.

Special Bundle Pricing:
Per Session: $45/person

1. Who Am I Now?

September 11, 7.00pm - 8.30pm AEST (5:00pm - 6:30pm AWST)
Many women over fifty face a unique challenge when it comes to identity. After years of devoting themselves to careers, families, and societal expectations, you may feel a disconnect between who you once were and who you want to be moving forward. This can be compounded by societal messages about aging that can make women feel invisible or outdated.

The good news is that there are powerful tools to help navigate this identity shift. By exploring your values and passions, you can gain a renewed sense of yourself. This workshop will remind you of who you are at the core and update your sense of identity to match who you are becoming now.

2. Uncovering Purpose After Fifty

September 18, 7.00pm - 8.30pm AEST (5:00pm - 6:30pm AWST)
A sense of purpose provides the foundation for a meaningful life. Without it, you can be left with a feeling of emptiness or a nagging question: "What is my relevance now?" This shift can be particularly disorienting if your prior sense of purpose was tied to your job.

This workshop offers a space to move beyond pre-defined roles and rediscover the spark within. Through interactive activities and thought-provoking discussions, you will explore your
interests, experiences, and the unique skills honed over a lifetime. The focus will be on identifying what truly ignites your curiosity and a sense of meaning to your life. By exploring various avenues for contribution, you will be equipped to design a purpose-driven future that aligns with your passions and aspirations. This workshop complements the identity exploration of Workshop One by helping you translate your rediscovered sense of self into a fulfilling sense of purpose.

3. Mastering Uncertainty with a Growth Mindset

September 25, 7.00pm - 8.30pm AEST (5:00pm - 6:30pm AWST)

Life after fifty can be a whirlwind of exciting possibilities. Still, it can be a time of significant change that leaves you feeling overwhelmed by constant change. If you’re unsure how to navigate the unknown, you're not alone. This workshop addresses the challenges women over fifty face when dealing with uncertainty.

We'll explore the concept of a "fixed mindset," which sees skills and abilities as set in stone, leading to fear of failure and resistance to change. Together, we'll learn to cultivate a "growth mindset," where skills and knowledge are seen as constantly evolving through effort and learning.

Through interactive exercises and engaging discussions, you'll discover tools to reframe uncertainty as an opportunity for growth. The focus will be building resilience and fostering a sense of adventure: both skills to help navigate change confidently and optimistically. You’ll leave feeling empowered to embrace the exciting possibilities that lie ahead and thrive in an ever-changing world.
