Careful retirement planning that balances the visionary and the practical is essential for creating the future you truly desire. That's why the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement, a program of the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNCA), offers its renowned workshop, Paths to Creative Retirement.

Our program is based on six years of research and feedback from over 500 retirement program "graduates."
The North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement has developed some of the finest programs in the country. The three-day "Paths to Creative Retirement" seminar helps participants explore possible directions in later life and gives them an "action plan" to reach their goals.
—Wall Street Journal


Topics explored include how to evaluate whether to retire; prospects for post-retirement careers or other activities; understanding the psychological issues related to retirement decision-making; and how to assess emotional attitudes toward money, security, and the inclination to share a legacy. The highly interactive three-day workshop helps couples and individuals discover what they want and come up with strategies for getting there.

The North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement (NCCCR), noted for its innovative approach to lifelong learning, also serves as a retirement planning center. The Center provides retirement exploration services, promotes retirement transitions, and operates as an integral part of the University of North Carolina at Asheville where it implements intergenerational learning opportunities that encourage the development of an age-integrated society.

The Paths to Creative Retirement ("Paths") retirement program is held on the UNCA campus in a beautiful mountain setting. "Paths" enables you to enjoy supportive collegiality with others while exploring your values, abilities and long-deferred dreams. In the process, you will gain invaluable insights and inspiration to help take you forward. You will lean about the many retirement services that are available to you. "Paths" is a strictly non-commercial educational program focused mainly on the non-financial aspects of life's second half, and the best of senior living. It is truly one of the best senior seminars in the country.

[The] workshop helps soul searchers create plans for a meaningful retirement.
—Kiplinger's Retirement Report
