Who are the courses for?
They are for adults approaching retirement, already navigating a transition, or supporting someone who is planning thoughtfully.
Can partners take a course together?
Yes. Several lessons include prompts designed for shared discussion, while still leaving room for independent priorities.
How long does a course take?
Catalog durations range from two to six lessons. You can work through them at a pace that suits your calendar.
