Detailed Descriptions
CULTIVATING CREATIVE LEISURE
While many persons in our culture have developed a strong
work ethic, not many have developed a leisure ethic. This
under-developed aspect can seriously affect life satisfaction
in later years. This program examines the work ethic in the
United States, attitudes towards leisure, creative potential
and qualities of the creative person. The topics will be discussed
in relation to all aspects of the person: physical, emotional,
social, spiritual and intellectual. Participants will explore
not only the concepts presented, but will have the opportunity
for self-assessment, reflection and planning.
STRATEGIES FOR A THIRD AGE MINISTRY
This workshop is designed to assist priests and religious
in the development of meaningful strategies for retirement.
The ideas to be reviewed include financial planning, new ministerial
directions, lifestyle changes and the spiritual aspects of
aging. Through a series of presentations, group interactions
and individual sessions, priests and religious will gain a
better understanding of what is needed to be successful in
the Third Age of their lives.

This workshop explores the psychological and social aspects

have an opportunity for self-assessment, reflection and planning.
