GYL Course 26 May:
Upgrade your Playing Field skills
Upgrade your Playing Field skills
Learn how to navigate the people, systems, and noise around you — and make choices that are even more authentically yours.
May 26th
7.00PM - 9.30PM
Gustavia
You don't live in a vacuum. Every day, you move through a dynamic field of influences — family expectations, social media algorithms, news cycles, cultural norms, the opinions of people around you — each one shaping the choices you make.
Most of us never stop to ask: am I playing this field, or is it playing me?
In this workshop, you'll map out the players in your own personal playing field and develop practical tools to navigate them with more clarity and intention. Whether it's the pull of your phone, the weight of other people's opinions, or the stress of trying to control what you simply can't — you'll learn to navigate with your environment on your own terms.
Because the playing field isn't going anywhere. But how you move through it is up to you.

Our GYL-style
Open settings
Where you can be yourself so that it's easier to connect clearly to what you think, feel, need, and desire.
Peer-to-peer dialogue
Little theory and lots of dynamic conversation with others. Exchange experiences, challenges, and solutions and inspire each other.
You are the expert
We don't tell you how to live your life, but create a space where you can find your own answers and solutions to help you create life by your own design.
