Beyond Intermission: Thriving in Your Third Act

Facilitator: Amy J. Barry

Dates: Tuesdays, 11/12/2024 to 12/10/2024
Location: Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library, Stony Creek, CT
Meeting Time: 2 to 4 p.m.

Description: As each generation lives longer, more active lives— people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, still working or retired, married, divorced, single or widowed, are finding themselves asking the same question: How will I spend the next 20, 30 or even 40 years?
In this workshop Amy will implement creative visualizations, hands-on expressive art and writing exercises, current research findings, and group discussion and feedback to help participants get “unstuck” and move beyond “intermission” into a rich and rewarding “third act.”
Amy is a certified express arts facilitator, published author & poet, award-winning journalist, and Hospice-trained bereavement counselor.

"The workshop was beyond my expectations because it gave me control of the outcome and I was never pressured to share my innermost, private thoughts and feelings. It was personally rewarding, eye opening, and linked me to my subconscious desire to change for the better. I liked each thought provoking, illuminating exercise. Participants "did their own thing" and simultaneously were a part of the "whole." Overall, I became an artist creating for my own enjoyment in my own style. In other words...everything was perfect. How refreshing. Amy, thank you for opening new vistas in self-realization and giving me the freedom to run with it. "
