Life Design Workshop

Life moves quickly. Before we know it, we can find ourselves in default mode - going through the motions without stopping to ask if the life we're living is actually the one we want.

The Life Design Workshop gives you the space to step out of the noise, reconnect with what really matters and intentionally design what’s next.

Through guided reflection, coaching exercises and creativity, you’ll GAIN CLARITY on where you are now, CREATE A BOLD VISION for what you want next, and TAKE ACTION to start bringing it to life.

It's time to live by design, not by default.

A Vision Board is a tangible, visual representation of the life you want to create.

Gain Clarity

Step back and look at the bigger picture. Through guided reflection and coaching exercises, you’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, what gives you energy and what might need a tweak — or A WHOLE NEW RENOVATION!

Create your Bold Vision

Think bigger. Challenge the FEAR and beliefs holding you back, write a letter to your future self 💌 and bring your BOLD VISION to life on your own Life Design Vision Board.

Take Action

A BOLD VISION needs action. Turn your ideas into practical next steps that move you forward and start living by design, not by default.

Duration

2.5 hours

What’s included?

  • All the tools & materials you need to get creative and build your Life Design Vision Board.

  • Guided coaching & facilitation with Caoimhe de Fréin, Life Design Coach.

  • Your future-self letter 💌, posted back to you one year later.

Who is it for?

  • Come alone or bring a friend — there’s always a mix.

    Feeling stuck, ready for change or stepping into a new adventure? Or maybe you don’t quite know what needs to change yet.

Step out of default mode. Get clear on what you really want. Start designing & building a life that feels like yours.

    What a fabulous workshop. I enjoyed it so thoroughly. It was a lovely space to gain clarity on what matters – inspirational and joyful evening.

    I did a DEFRÉIN workshop in January, and it was an absolute game-changer for me. Caoimhe creates an organised, but highly relaxed environment. We had lots of space and time to consider what we wanted to get out of the session, and it was just a joy to be able to sit and reflect on what is important to me. I had been putting off taking up running for years

    Had a fantastic experience with Caoimhe on her vision board course. Caoimhe created an inspirational space for participants to help them focus and clarify goals. My vision board has been so effective in helping me implement daily changes. Highly recommend!

    Caoimhe is talented in so many ways. I had the pleasure of attending a Life Design workshop with her recently. I left it feeling more focused and empowered.

    Caoimhe is so talented at creating the right space for creating your vision and intentions for your life. She balances strategic thinking with creativity and humour. Highly recommend her workshops if you would like support to life by design, not default! Her products are high quality and thoughtfully sourced and created.

    I recently attended a vision board retreat with Caoimhe and loved it. The space to really step back, reflect and set priorities for the coming year was just brilliant. Caoimhe creates a safe, inclusive space where you can share as much or as little as you like. I would highly recommend the retreat.

    I’ve also attended Caoimhe’s Vision Board evening course and couldn’t recommend it more as a way to relax and get inspired.
