The saying goes that ‘life is short’, reminding us to appreciate every moment. But for many of us, it can reinforce the feeling that it’s too late to try something new, or to take a leap of faith. What if, as a thought experiment, we imagined that life is long - what adventures, possibilities or reinventions might you consider?

This hands-on masterclass with the psychologist and writer Dr Susan Kahn will help you reclaim and rediscover your potential. In a session grounded in science, and packed with psychological insights, you’ll learn how to overcome some of the common barriers we put in our way when it comes to making changes in life.

This class will give you the time, space and tools to help you work out what you have to offer the world. Through the use of practical exercises, for use in this class and beyond, you’ll be encouraged to re-evaluate your life in a supportive and encouraging environment. You’ll leave with a personalised action plan to kickstart your reinvention.

This course is for …

  • Anyone of any age, life experience or background

  • Anyone facing a crossroads in their life

  • Anyone who is wondering is this it?

  • Anyone curious about other options and is questioning what has been holding them back
