Come live a little: The Inspired Retired Living event series


Friday, 12 April 2024

Retirement can be a time of exploration, self-discovery and creativity.

To prove exactly that, we recently held a variety of unique events under the umbrella theme of 'Inspired Retired'.

The events across New South Wales and Victoria highlighted the diverse activities that are available to you in retirement and embodied the philosophy that life continues to get better with age.

From reliving favourite movie themes from the 60s to learning about gardening and embracing creativity through painting, each event was unique, providing a platform of learning and socialising.

Here's a glimpse into the array of events that took place:

Henry Kendall Gardens had a musician play some of the greatest movie themes from the 60s
