Your foundations for retirement

The early years of retirement are when long-term patterns are still being formed. What you put in place now tends to shape what follows. By the end of the six-month programme, you will have:

  • Confidence in the direction you want this next chapter to take
  • A clear understanding of your current health and capability across the areas that most shape long-term quality of life
  • Greater day-to-day energy and resilience, supported by routines that fit your life
  • A practical, personalised system that helps you stay healthy and on track
  • The confidence to keep building on what you’ve put in place
  • Connection to a motivated group of peers on the same journey

Your progress is tracked throughout the programme, so the foundations you’re building become visible.

Your six-month journey

The Vita Programme is structured over six months, combining focused in-person workshops with sustained small-group support.

For more detail on your six-month journey, download the programme brochure.

Start Strong

The programme begins with two in-person workshops (3.5 days, followed by 1.5 days two weeks later). This is a focused time to step back, think clearly, and set direction for the months ahead.

During this time you will:

  • Complete Vita Assessments to establish your baseline
  • Learn from experts across five pillars of healthy ageing
  • Connect with your cohort
  • Design a personal plan shaped around your goals and life

Build Momentum

Following the workshops, you move into a structured rhythm of fortnightly small-group Coxera sessions. This is where insight and ideas turn into action, and action turns into sustained changes. 

These sessions help you:

  • Translate your personal plan into sustainable routines
  • Identify and remove friction or obstacles early 
  • Refine and strengthen what's working
  • Maintain steady momentum with the support of your cohort

Celebrate Progress

Vita Assessments are repeated throughout the programme, so you can see your progress across five pillars of healthy ageing. Over time, the data helps you understand how your mind and body respond to change.

You will:

  • Track measurable changes in your Vita score
  • See where you're improving and where to focus next
  • Understand what is driving your progress
  • Leave with a clear, evidence-backed foundation for the years ahead

Five Pillars of Healthy Ageing

The Vita Programme is structured around the World Health Organisation's framework for healthy ageing, which identifies five pillars that shape quality of life as we age. 

You’ll learn from experts in each pillar, and build a personal plan that supports all five — shaped around your priorities and how you want to live in retirement.
