A Purposeful Life: Finding Meaning and Direction at Every Age presentation

November 5 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Appropriate for all ages 13-100

What does it mean to live a purposeful life, and how does that question change across the different seasons of adulthood?

In this interactive evening, Bradley Wright, Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut and founder of the Life Purpose Lab, will draw on his research on purpose, meaning, and life change to explore how people build a sense of purpose. The session will combine accessible research, practical reflection, and a guided purpose-finding exercise designed for people at many stages of life.

Participants will be invited to think about where purpose comes from, what can get in the way of it, and how new possibilities can emerge even during times of uncertainty, transition, or change.

Our Presenter: Bradley Wright, PhD, is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut and founder of the Life Purpose Lab. His scholarly work focuses on how people find meaning, direction, and purpose in their lives. Drawing on decades of research and teaching, he helps people understand the sources of purpose, identify futures, and take practical steps toward lives marked by clarity, contribution, and hope.
