About this Event
What if you stopped trying to optimise your life long enough to actually ask yourself what you want from it?
You're functioning...
You're getting things done.
You're probably even doing pretty well on paper.
But somewhere along the way, life became something you were managing rather than something you were actively enjoying.
Your body feels tense.
Your brain feels busy.
Your calendar is full.
Your relationships matter—but sometimes feel really complicated, perhaps even overwhelming or detached and disconnected.
And underneath all of it is a quieter question:
Is this actually the life I want?
Because being alive and feeling alive are two very different things.
LIFE DESIGN Lab was created so that you could leave with clarity, excitement and enthusiasm – to start feeling alive again.
During the day, participants will take the time to carefully explore:
1. What matters to me?
Hone in on your values.
2. What do I actually need?
Your unique individual + social needs.
3. What gives me energy?
Interests, curiosity, pleasure, movement and connection.
4. What do I want to contribute?
Purpose and passion.
5. What do I want to receive and experience?
During this season: growth, relationships, learning, adventure, rest, intimacy etc.
6. What am I building?
A truely considered and practical guide to walk way away with – how to navigate life, on your own terms.
One day. No productivity hacks.
No 5am routine. No perfect-life blueprint.
Here's your opportunity for a full-day reset
For people who are tired of running on autopilot.
OPTIONAL ADD ON: THE AFTERGLOW.
Stay for the sunset.
The workshop might finish at 4:30pm, but you don't have to rush home.
Join us on the lawn overlooking the river for a relaxed sunset picnic with pizza, drinks and good conversation.
It's a chance to decompress after the day, share what you're taking away, meet some of the other people who came along, and simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful without needing to be anywhere else.
There'll be a little storytelling, an opportunity to ask Jenelle questions about REDEFINED, RECALIBRATE and what's next, and plenty of space for conversations to unfold naturally.
No slides. No workbook. No more exercises.
Includes pizza, drinks, sunset and good company.
5:00pm–7:00pm
