The 5-Dimensional Retirement Plan
Workshop Series
A five-workshop series for Gen Xers who are ready to prepare for retirement properly – not just financially, but across every dimension of a life well-designed.
Most retirement planning answers one question:
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY?
THIS IS THE WRONG QUESTION. Or rather, IT IS HALF THE QUESTION.
The people who thrive in retirement – the ones with somewhere to be, something to contribute, a life that feels theirs – did something different. They prepared across five dimensions, not one. They did the financial, identity, health, relationship, and lifestyle design work. Before they needed it!
That is what this series is built for. Five workshops. Five dimensions. One cohesive preparation for the chapter that deserves more than a pension pot.
The question is not whether you can afford to retire.
The question is whether you have anything to retire to.
THE FIVE WORKSHOPS
What Are You Actually Retiring To?
Dimension: Lifestyle Design
Most people have spent decades planning when to retire. Almost nobody has planned what they are retiring to.
This workshop fixes that – with two practical exercises that produce real outputs you take home.
You will do a full Identity Audit and sketch your first Ideal Week. Both are yours to keep. The blank spots are as useful as the filled ones.

The Number Nobody Tells You
Dimension: Financial & Career
This is not investment advice. It is lifestyle costing – working out what your actual desired life costs per month, and what that means for your transition timeline. You leave with your Freedom Number and a clearer picture of what it funds.
Most people have never done this calculation. The result is either reassuring or clarifying. Either way, it is information you need.

Who Are You When the Title’s Gone?
Dimension: Purpose & Identity
For most Gen Xers, work has been providing far more than a salary – it has been providing identity, structure, and a sense of being needed.
This workshop makes that visible, and starts the process of building something that survives retirement.
Confronting for some. Clarifying for everyone.

You Can Retire. But Can You Live It?
Dimension: Health & Vitality
The body you retire into is the body you have been building for the last 20 years. This workshop is a candid audit of your health capital – where you are investing, where you are in deficit, and what to do about it before retirement arrives.
Not a fitness lecture. A practical reckoning with the asset most people take for granted until it is too late.

The Relationships That Survive Retirement
Dimension: Relationships & Community
Most people discover too late that the majority of their social network was work-dependent. This workshop maps your current connections, identifies what survives, and starts building the social infrastructure you will actually need.
The research on social isolation in retirement is stark. This workshop is the antidote.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
| Antonia Varbanova is a Gen X Retirement Preparation Specialist and the founder of Connecting Fragments. She has lived across three continents and five countries, reinvented her career three times, and spent years observing – up close – what separates the people who thrive in retirement from the ones who drift through it. Her work is built on one foundational insight: financial preparation is necessary but not sufficient. The people who build genuinely good retirement years do the identity work, the purpose work, and the lifestyle design work before they get there – not after. The 5-Dimensional Retirement Plan workshop series exists to make that preparation structured, practical, and actually doable. |
FAQ
What platform is the workshop on?
Zoom. You will receive the link in your confirmation email. No account required – just click to join.
Do I have to attend all five workshops?
No. Each workshop is a standalone session. You can register for one or all five. That said, the five dimensions are interconnected – the full series produces a more complete picture than any single workshop on its own.
Do I need any special materials?
Just pen and paper, and ideally your printed workbook. We will send the workbook PDF with your confirmation email.
Is this a sales pitch for a bigger program?
No. The workshop is a standalone session with real, practical value regardless of what you do next. There is a brief, honest mention of the Gen X Retirement Protocol at the close – because it is the natural next step for people who want to go deeper – but there is no pressure and no pitch.
What if I miss a workshop I have paid for?
The 48-hour replay is available to all registered participants and is sent within an hour of the live session closing. If you purchased series access, your replay entitlement carries to every workshop in the series.
