What we do

Playful workshops to build connection, compassion and confidence

"“Julia delivered a really useful workshop for the School of Computing & Mathematical Sciences, where colleagues worked together to build LEGO models in small groups, allowing us to collaboratively visualise what was important to our School.

This led to us developing our Statement of Purpose and overall it was a really enjoyable team building day.”
