A 5-week relational lab for people questioning what matters to them, exploring the stories behind their values, and experimenting with how to live in closer alignment with what they stand for.
The Values Lab is a 5-week small group experience designed for people who feel a quiet sense that something in their life is off, even if everything looks “fine” on paper.
Many people move through the world carrying values they’ve inherited but never examined. Others know what they care about but struggle to live in alignment with it because of expectations, systems, or survival.
This course offers space to slow down and explore those tensions.
Together, we will explore:
What values are and how they shape decisions, relationships, and identity
The “lore” of our values: where they come from and how they were formed
The gap between what we say we value and how we actually live
How values show up in work, relationships, and everyday choices
What it might look like to move toward greater alignment in real life
This is not a course about productivity, leadership, or goal-setting.
It is a relational, reflection-based space centered on witnessing and being witnessed.
Participants will engage in guided reflection, small group dialogue, and structured activities that invite honesty, curiosity, and self-trust. Rather than being told what to do, participants will be supported in making meaning of their own experiences.
This work is especially important right now, as many people are questioning long-held assumptions about work, identity, and purpose while navigating systems that often pull them away from what matters most.
The Values Lab offers a pause.
A chance to notice.
And an opportunity to choose more intentionally.
This course is designed for:
People who feel a sense of misalignment between their values and how they are currently living
Mid-career professionals experiencing burnout or questioning their direction
Care workers, educators, and helpers who spend time supporting others but rarely have space for their own reflection
Individuals in transition (post-grad, career shifts, life changes) who are re-evaluating what matters to them
Thoughtful, introspective people who want a structured space for deeper reflection and conversation
You do not need to have everything figured out.
Curiosity and a willingness to engage honestly are enough.
