Retiring Well Seminars: For Clergy Preparing to Retire Using an excellent resource written by Dr. Wagstrom Halaas, family physician and spouse of a Lutheran minister, clergy preparing to retire (and their spouses, if applicable) are invited to reflect on the new life that awaits them. These seminars can be offered in three 2-hour sessions, or as a full day workshop. Seminar One: Introductions and course outline Chapter One: It’s All About Change: Health and Wellness in Midlife Chapter Two: Let’s Get Real: Physical Health Seminar Two: Chapter Three: Where’s the Joy? Emotional Health Chapter Four: Use It or Lose It: Intellectual Health Chapter Five: God Happens at Parties: Social Health Seminar Three: Chapter Six: Follow Your Passion: Vocational Health Chapter Seven: Faith and Life: Spiritual Health Chapter Eight: For Those We Leave Behind: Dying Well Feedback from past participants: We found ourselves enabled to share deeply with each other in Sarah's presence, and her ability to hear us deeply and to pose appropriate challenges and to offer insights was an enormous gift as we prepared for retirement. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone thinking through those kinds of issues.  Harold and Claire Munn, Victoria BC, January 2011 Resource used in this program Clergy Retirement and Wholeness: Looking Forward to the Third Age, by Gwen Wagstrom Halaas.
