Transitioning to Retirement: The Next Chapter for your Relationship

Join our 2-Hour workshop on Relationships & Life Transitions

Retirement is one of life’s most significant transitions—and its impact reaches far beyond work schedules and finances. As routines shift and roles evolve, relationships often change in unexpected ways. This interactive 2-hour workshop is designed to help you understand, navigate, and strengthen your key relationships during this new chapter.

Through guided reflection, practical exercises, and meaningful conversation, you’ll explore how retirement can influence connection, communication, identity, and partnership. You’ll gain tools to address unspoken expectations, reduce friction, and intentionally shape how you move forward together with greater clarity and confidence.

Facilitated by an experienced counsellor and clinical supervisor, this two-hour Zoom workshop explores a wide range of topics, including:

  • Explore how changing roles and daily rhythms affect relationships
  • Identify unspoken expectations and common sources of tension
  • Strengthen communication and deepen mutual understanding
  • Reflect on personal needs, shared goals, and evolving identities
  • Learn practical strategies to support connection during transition

This Workshop Is For:

  • Individuals or couples in a relationship approaching or newly in retirement
  • Partners adjusting to increased time together or shifting responsibilities
  • Anyone wanting to navigate retirement with intention, ease, and stronger relationships
  • Adult children of parents who are retiring.

Whether you’re looking to reconnect, reset expectations, or simply better understand this transition, this workshop offers a supportive space to reflect, learn, and move forward with purpose.

Part of The Relationships Service’s Recharge & Reset series, these workshops are rooted in research and real-world experience, combining:

  • Informal group discussion
  • Structured exercises
  • Personal reflection
