Know Your Values. Share Your Gifts. Make an Impact. Many people want to make a difference. Often, the challenge isn’t willingness, but knowing how to take that first step. During this one-hour workshop, dive into how aligning with your personal values can help you find clarity and kick-start how you can make a positive impact in your local community. By connecting to your values and understanding the skills you have to share, you can find your purpose and how you can give back. By asking what you value, what you have to give, and what you care about, we will build a map to guide you to the volunteer opportunities that best suit you and your skills. In connecting our values and strengths to the needs of our community, we can create purposeful action that leads to real, lasting change. Organised by ShiftUp Agency.

Our values can sometimes feel like ideas we hold in our minds, but what happens when we take them out of our heads and into our bodies? In this gentle, experiential Sophrology session, we’ll explore the values that matter most to you through a combination of mental and somatic exercises. You’ll be invited to slow down, connect with the space of your heart and notice how your values feel within you, what they mean beyond words and what deeper layers they might reveal. You're invited to pause, listen inwardly and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
This is one of several events organised by the International Sophrology Federation.

Have you ever volunteered to do something and then found yourself regretting it, being drained by it or feeling underappreciated? We often do this because we’re volunteering from the mind and from beliefs we have about ourselves and others. That’s not wrong, and our original intention was positive and honourable. But when we create only from the mind, and exclude the wisdom of the heart, the danger is we miss what’s really important and where we will find joy, fulfilment, and the energy to sustain our actions. Join this fun and empowering session to experience a heart-focused process to identify your unconditional gifts of generosity and explore how you can offer them to the world. Organised by HeartMath and WeAddHeart.

Loneliness is one of the defining challenges of our time - but it doesn't have to be. Despite living in the most connected era in human history, many people feel more isolated than ever. Social media offers connection, yet for millions it has only deepened loneliness and isolation. The need for genuine connection, belonging, meaning and purpose is fundamentally human - and it's a need we can meet, together. In this interactive global workshop we'll move beyond the conversation into action. A space for young and old to come together to share real experiences, learn from one another, and uncover practical, meaningful steps we can all take. We'll explore what truly helps people us to feel seen and supported. Organised by Good Turns and The Human Promise.

We often move through our busy lives on autopilot, guided by habits and inherited values we may not even be aware of. This short Sophrology practice offers a chance to pause and reconnect - with ourselves and with what really matters. Through gentle movement, focused breathing, and guided meditation, we’ll explore a personal value and how to align more consciously with it in daily life. This is one of several events organised by the International Sophrology Federation

This gentle Sophrology session invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the value of trust: trust in your own inner resources, your capacity to adapt, and your ability to contribute positively to those around you. Trust can become a foundation for connecting more deeply with yourself and others, guided by the values that matter most to you. Through gentle movement, breathing exercises, body awareness, and guided visualisation, we will create a space to cultivate presence, strengthen self-connection, and explore how trusting ourselves and our values can guide the way we care for ourselves and offer ourselves in service to others. Please join from a quiet space and bring a pen and paper. This is one of several events organised by the International Sophrology Federation.

In a world increasingly shaped by AI and algorithms, we are summoned to remember what is irreducibly human— and what it means to live it out loud. Join us for a live unconference online on what makes us irreplaceable and invaluable in the AI-age, and how volunteering to embody our humanness in our daily lives might be the most radical act of our time. A conversation that doesn’t offer easy answers but opens something more valuable: a space to think together about who we are, the Human Advantage we carry, the radical act of embodying our humanness in our everyday lives — and what only we, as humans, can leave behind in an Age of AI.

Join me and my horses to Rewild In Your Values, inviting you to reconnect with your deepest values and step into your most authentic self. Through guided reflection, rewilding practices with horses, and simple yet powerful exercises, you’ll reclaim the values that light you up and discover how to express them in small, meaningful ways—a kind word, mindful presence, time in nature, or service to community. You’ll leave feeling clearer, more grounded, and inspired to let your values guide you every day. Because the most powerful way to change the world is to show up as your truest self—rewilded, real, and ready to give from the heart. Organised by SparkVision.

Sometimes it’s hard to feel connected when life and the world around you are so busy - to feel connected to your body and also to your values and what really sustains you. In this session you’ll be guided through a gentle sequence of techniques that invite you to pause and create space to connect with and strengthen a value that really matters to you. We’ll be working with sophrology - a mind-body and personal development method that uses a blend of breathwork, gentle movement and visual imagery to connect with and strengthen the positive. All you need is a chair and a little space around you. This is one of several events organised by the International Sophrology Federation.
