We spend much of our lives getting on with things. There’s usually something more urgent than wondering what gives us joy, why we keep falling into the same patterns, or whether the things filling our days are the things we care about. I’d love for that kind of reflection to feel ordinary. Something we make a little room for along the way, before life has to insist.

MindSlí began as a small self-discovery studio in Galway, with playful activities inspired by psychology, philosophy and art. It has since taken different forms: reflective walks, workshops, questions explored over food, and conversations around a pub table. The idea running through them is the same: to make understanding ourselves and one another more accessible, enjoyable, and part of everyday life.
