Retirement workshops in Johannesburg and Pretoria
Two 3-hour sessions across two days, in a small group, close to home. The What Now? Workshop runs at venues around Johannesburg and Pretoria — and nationally on request — for people approaching or already living in retirement.
Who it’s for
People within a year or two of retiring, and people already in it who found the reality harder than expected. You do not need a plan before you arrive — that is what the day is for. Most people come on their own; couples often come together because the change affects both of them.
What the day covers
- Rebuilding identity once the job title is gone
- Creating structure and routine that actually holds
- Finding purpose and where your experience is still needed
- Navigating being at home together all day
- Overcoming loneliness and rebuilding a social circle
- Setting a clear direction for the next chapter
It is interactive rather than a lecture. You work through practical exercises, hear how others are handling the same things, and leave with notes and decisions rather than theory.
You leave with decisions rather than intentions — that is the whole point of the two days.
Format and venues
Two 3-hour sessions across two days, at venues around Johannesburg and Pretoria — and nationally on request. The split is deliberate: identity, purpose and managing your connections are heavy subjects, and a night to sit with the first session is what makes the second one land. Open groups are capped at 30 so there is room for honest conversation; corporate groups can be any size and we run them on site.

Cost and booking
Your seat covers both sessions, including materials and refreshments. Promotional specials are available for individuals — ask us for the current rate when you enquire. You can also call or WhatsApp +27 62 230 4940 if you would rather talk it through first.
Prefer something longer?
The Retreat Experience takes the same work into a calm natural setting over a longer stay — more rest, more reflection and more time to reset. Mention it in your enquiry and we will send the details.
Work through it over two sessions
The What Now? Workshop runs nationally — two 3-hour sessions across two days, in a small group of people in exactly the same position.
