Many people face retirement from paid work as they face any liminal time: feeling disorientation and uncertainty, loss of identity, and loss of meaning. This presentation will frame retirement as a rite of passage, an internal, often unconscious psychological and spiritual transition. With the tools of depth psychology, including shadow-work, and contemplative practices, we can explore letting go of past roles, moving into the unknown, and emerging with a deeper spiritual identity -- making the shift from role to soul.
