About Kanreki
Kanreki is a Japanese word. It refers to a festival celebrated on a person’s 60th birthday to commemorate the re-birth of the soul, which the Japanese believe happens at this time.
The philosophy of our company has been inspired by this festival. We believe that retirement should be a happy occasion, one filled with opportunity, inspiration and liberation. If planned effectively, retiring gives you the chance to live your own life your own way. Free from financial worries, health concerns or work stress, it is time for your soul to be re-born. So…who do you want to be? What do you want to do? How or even where do you want to live?
The seminars are brought to you by the following people:
