The Blooming Collective Talks: The Next Chapter - Finding Your Direction

Open to public (registration essential!)

The Blooming Collective is a series of monthly gatherings on various wellbeing topics. Each session offers thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and shared experiences designed to support living well at every stage of life. The tone is relaxed, friendly, and inclusive - more like a group conversation than a class or lecture.

 

While topics explore areas such as emotional health, ageing confidently, sleep, nutrition, creativity, and connection, the real focus is on enjoying meaningful discussions, learning from one another, and building community.

 

Talks will be held every month with guest speakers joining throughout the year. Come to one or come to many - you’ll take something valuable away each time.

 

August 2026: The Next Chapter – Finding Your Direction

Life is full of transitions. Whether you're approaching retirement, exploring new interests, adjusting to changing family roles, or simply reflecting on what comes next, this session invites you to consider how you want the next chapter of your life to look and feel.

 

Together, we'll explore the difference between goals and expectations, reflect on what brings purpose and fulfilment, and discuss practical ways to set meaningful goals that align with your values, strengths, and aspirations. Rather than focusing solely on achievement, this conversation will consider how goals can help create a sense of direction, connection, growth, and wellbeing at every stage of life.

 

Through guided discussion and reflection, you'll have the opportunity to identify what matters most to you right now and consider small, realistic steps towards the future you would like to create.
