Though many midlifers’ nest eggs have shrunk in the economic downturn and curtailed some leisure travel, interest and attendance in retirement-planning trips and workshops are on the rise. Stepping out of your everyday world for a few days of concentrated attention to contemplate a big change can help clarify what you want to do next in your life, or the next step you need to take to figure it out. These retreats might include mini-lectures, discussions, and exercises – like writing a list of what you don’t want in later life and transforming it into what you do want. People have gotten in touch with things like fear of failure, and realizing that where they live suits their needs; they don’t need to make a move. If you want to improve your health, retirement and resort communities are starting to offer ‘active aging’ programs complete with wellness assessments, while others offer financial planning and nutrition for active adults. They report that people love one course that asks them to sign up for something -pottery, tai chi or a ropes obstacle course – outside their comfort zone.
