It gives me great pleasure to host our cinematic journey during the summer session.

Although each prior session hasn’t followed a central theme, the movies I chose this time arranged themselves quite neatly in a theme. We’ll see an “Oldie,” an animated film, a foreign film, a drama, a comedy and a new category; films about Los Angeles. The balance are movies I thought excellent. I choose films for their excellent writing, dialogue, acting, and their overall aura. If you enjoy delving more deeply into this art form enhanced via a group discussion, then this is the place to be. We will continue our quest to find the answer to: “What makes a movie a timeless masterpiece?”

As we contemplate retirement, many of us seek greater meaning ..., many of us seek greater meaning in health, work, relationships, community, learning, creativity, or spirituality, yet the path forward often feels uncertain. This workshop series offers an opportunity to reflect on what matters most, and intentionally shape your next chapter. Designed to be accessible and practical, the series helps you create a focused, realistic plan for transformation. Drawing on behavioral science research, we explore meaning, purpose, resilience, mindset, and habits, and apply these ideas to your life. Through guided reflection, creative exercises, peer collaboration, and a simple online interactive workbook that supports iterative reflection, you will gain new perspectives, clarify what gives your life meaning in retirement, and define achievable goals. You will leave with practical strategies to launch your next chapter, overcome barriers, and an accountability group to support continued progress momentum.
