In this workshop, we’ll explore our current relationship with technology, imagine what a desirable digital identity could look like, and create a symbolic avatar to guide that becoming: a seed, a talisman, a small signal from a future you.

Through reflection, guided meditation, and creative making, we’ll rethink how we want to show up online, with more softness, honesty, and care.

Ikebana (生け花) flower arrangement rest-shop is a gentle, hands-on experience in Japanese flower arranging, guided by mindfulness and intentionality. You’ll take home your own Ikebana flower arrangement, along with a flower frog (kenzan).

​This program is designed for freelancers, team leaders, employees, and anyone who wants to strengthen the human skills that drive effective collaboration and sustainable performance.

The program focuses on communication, resilience, creative confidence, and people skills that support healthier, softer and more effective work.

The course meets every two weeks over 6 live sessions, combining practical tools, reflection, and real-world application. Participants are supported in implementing what they learn immediately in their daily work and creative practice.

The session will start with a story of how she got into tech (spoiler: it's all about finding and building supportive communities) and how she navigated building a career in software and teaching. The session will end with a roundtable discussion of your individual experiences finding a footing in the technical realm and how we can support each other to belong here.

As the Lab is a rather small and intimate space (and we hope to see lots of you), drinks and snacks will be served across the road by the lake. See you in the sunshine!

We’ll be hosting a drop-in salon format of our socials, where you’ll have a chance to meet others in the SOFTER network, learn more about our initiatives and share knowledge. 

‍

Most importantly, we’ll have Tigris presenting a demo of her latest work Emotional Alchemy which looks at the relationship between AI and scent — an immersive olfactory installation that materialises conversations, emotions and expressions of identity into bespoke fragrances, capturing the unique contour of our individuality.

Are you curious to know what a computer is made of? Are you dreaming about building your own computer one day? Do you find hardware mysterious and scary?
