Seminar on spirituality and direction for retired Catholic physicians set for Nov. 18

A seminar titled “Redefining Retirement from Medicine as a Spiritual Journey: Finding New Purpose, New Meaning and New Directions, in Whatever Retirement May Bring” will be held at St. Elizabeth Seton Church, 10655 Haverstick Road, in Carmel, Ind., in the Lafayette Diocese, from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Nov. 18.

As Catholics, the concept of retirement includes two crucial aspects: that the second half of life is the most spiritually fertile time for humans, and that when spiritual stirrings are combined with the wisdom of years, retirement can be an opportunity to live joyfully with purpose and meaning.

With that in mind, this seminar is designed for Catholic physicians considering retirement in the next 10 years or who have already retired, as well as their spouses. It provides an opportunity to learn how to make the most effective choices regarding the how, when, where and why of retirement transition.

The day includes sessions on life meaning and spirituality, an overview of the Christian Retirement Profile and ResiliencyScan, career reorientation, personal empowerment, present and future quality of life, respect for leisure, personal flexibility, home life, stewardship, connection opportunities and more.

It will be led by Forbes Well-Being Advisors founder Rachel Forbes Kaufman, who retired after more than 30 years in the ministry of health care, then earned an advanced theology degree from Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in St. Meinrad. Her full-time ministry is now dedicated to the formation, well-being and support of medical practitioners.

Kaufman is a member of the Catholic Medical Association (CMA) and the Coalition for Physician Well-Being.

The cost, which includes lunch, is $125 per person, or $195 per couple.

The deadline to register is Nov. 1. Registration is available at bit.ly/MedPrac2017.

For more information, contact Kaufman at 812-459-1058 or kaufman@twc.com.
