Finding purpose
Five Free workshops to help people 55+ uncover or rediscover their purpose.
“The Purpose of life… is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
These workshops will help you identify or rediscover your purpose. Use science to determine whether your purpose leans toward the Arts, Industry, Lifelong Learning, or Civic Science (or a combination). Learn how to uncover pathways to engage in purposeful activities within Monash and surrounds.
