    Brian Eno, Musician and Producer

    Charlie Mackesy, author of bestseller The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Overview

Act 3 is the part of life where experience, perspective and possibility meet. It’s the moment many people realise they’ve achieved a great deal — yet something inside is shifting. The old markers of success don’t land in the same way. A new chapter is calling, but the shape of it isn’t clear yet.

This workshop is designed to give you the time, space and structure to explore that next chapter with clarity, confidence and renewed energy.

What we'll explore

In the workshop, you’ll be guided through a series of reflective conversations and practical tools to help you:

Understand what’s changing — and why

Identify what you want more (and less) of in the years ahead

Navigate transitions with steadiness and perspective

Begin shaping a life that feels aligned, energising and meaningful

This isn’t about reinvention for the sake of it. It’s about designing a chapter that fits who you are now.

What the workshop includes

Guided reflection and structured exercises

Small‑group conversation in a supportive, confidential setting

Practical tools you can use long after the workshop ends

Space to think, breathe and reset — away from the noise of daily life

A chance to connect with others who are navigating similar transitions

A calm, thoughtful and safe atmosphere.
