We invite you to a day-long gathering of Journey Fellows who are transitioning toward or into "retirement". We call this group SPARK...as we explore the "encore" chapters of our professional and personal lives. The retreats will help you get grounded, connected and inspired with others traveling the same path toward (on into) the retirement years. Participants last year had a wonderful day of reflection, conversation, laughter and personal grownth.

As we all know from The Journey, something wonderful happens when we are able to unplug and step away from our current environment and connect with fellow travelers in life. The gatherings will offer us time for renewing, reflecting, learning, and talking with others about purpose, passion, transitions, and adventure in creating the best of life ahead!
