    The Bucket List

    A 2nd Act retreat at Green Lake Conference Center, Delmar Miller House

    Completing the six most important tasks of your life

    What does a life well-lived actually ask of us? Drawing on the landmark Harvard Grant Study — one of the longest-running studies of adult development ever conducted — this retreat walks through the six milestones that mark a full and generative life: identity, integrity, intimacy, career convergence, guardianship, and generativity. Over three days at Green Lake, you’ll take honest stock of where you are, name what’s next, and leave with a clearer sense of the chapters still ahead. Space is limited.

    Facilitator: Clint Calvert, 2nd Act Career Services

    Schedule: Begins 7:00 PM Thursday, concludes noon Saturday

    Investment: $300 (a $1,000 value)
