Designing Your Life: Two-Day Workshop

990 euros

Do you ever feel stuck in your life or career, wanting more meaning, growth, or balance, but unsure of how to make that change without risking stability or overwhelm?

When you know that you are ready for a change, it's important to find the space and time to listen more closely to yourself. This workshop gives you the opportunity to pause, to reflect on the shape of your life so far and reimagine what it could be in the future.

Who you are

You are curious. You are questioning. You know you are looking for direction. You are tired of living on autopilot and ready to reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Perhaps you are having to build a life by yourself for the first time in years. Perhaps you're wondering if the second half of your life could be the most fulfilling chapter yet.

If you want to know what your life would look like if balance, purpose and energy were your new compass, then this space is made for you.

It is time to stop adapting and start designing the life you want

What to expect

You'll be guided through a clear, hands-on process based on the Designing Your Life methodology, which is a blend of design thinking, reflection and communal discussions. The programme includes:

  • Tools to clarify what matters most to you
  • Guided exercises to spark new thinking and fresh perspectives
  • Small group dialogues to reflect, share and learn from each other
  • Creative structure to explore ideas and start building toward them

Over the two-day workshop, you’ll explore how to reframe the challenges in your life, helping you get "unstuck" and enabling you to move forward. You'll discover how to define your core values and how learning to align your time and energy with those values will improve your quality of life. 

You'll have time to really think about what you want your life to look like, and you will build multiple visions of your future. All of this means that you can start to take meaningful steps toward change, with courage and clarity.

What you will walk away with

By the end of the workshop, you can expect:

  • Greater clarity on what matters most to you
  • Practical tools to design next steps without pressure or perfection
  • Increased confidence navigating uncertainty and choice
  • A clearer sense of alignment between who you are and how you live
  • Concrete actions you can take immediately to explore your future
