Embracing Change: Midlife Transitions Workshop

On November 29, a transformative event designed for the middle-aged population will take place in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. The workshop, organized by the innovative burial service RETURN TO NATURE, aims to address the challenges many people in their 40s and 50s face during significant life transitions. The statistics reveal that about 53% of individuals in this age group encounter a 'midlife crisis,' grappling with feelings of uncertainty regarding their future and the need to reassess their self-worth. This workshop seeks to provide support and guidance to help attendees navigate through these complex emotions.

Understanding the Midlife Crisis

As people reach their late 40s to 50s, they often encounter pivotal changes, such as the independence of children, caring for aging parents, and the physical changes that come with aging. Many find themselves contemplating whether their current path is the right one, which can lead to feelings of anxiety or discontent. This event acknowledges these challenges and offers practical strategies to address them through creative expression.

Event Overview

The workshop, titled "Journaling to Reflect on the Second Half of Life – produced by RETURN TO NATURE," will invite participants to engage in journaling, a practice known for its therapeutic benefits.
