Well-being workshop
A series of highly informative and interactive workshops on well-being
Union Syndicale invites you to a series of interactive online lunchtime well-being workshops with a real-life focus on finding passion, motivation & purpose in your life. We will explore all the various facets of what wellbeing is, to look at how important it is to our mental and physical health and gain some ideas into how we can start to look after ourselves and each other much better.
In this first session of 90 minutes we will cover what the dictionary definition of wellbeing is and also what it means to you. We will then take a look at some quick wins, things we can do right now to check how we are, see where things need to be improved and make a plan to change what we are doing in order to look after ourselves.
You will come away with some of the basic things you can implement in your daily routine to increase your own Well-being factor.
The workshop will be conducted in English and will not be recorded.

What you don’t talk about when you talk about grief
Grief is a natural response to loss, yet many of us carry it quietly and alone. It can come with the death of a loved one, but also with life changes such as moving to a new place, the end of a relationship, changes in health, or leaving behind a familiar role or chapter of life.
Grief is something we all encounter, yet we rarely talk about it openly. For that, Union Syndicale is delighted to invite you to talk about it in our next well-being workshop.
This 90-minute interactive workshop offers a gentle, supportive space to explore grief in all its forms. Together, we’ll expand our understanding of grief, let go of the idea that there is a “right” way to grieve, and learn practical tools to help care for ourselves when grief shows up in everyday life. We’ll also explore how grief and moments of joy, connection, and meaning can coexist.
Open to all, this inclusive session honors diverse cultural experiences and welcomes anyone who is grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to better understand loss and wellbeing. Come as you are and leave with compassionate practices and the reassurance that caring for yourself through grief is not selfish—it’s essential.
An open mind, a willingness to participate and some ideas of your own to share. You will also need to have a pen and paper at the ready, or you maybe have a favourite notebook you can use (you can choose to have one notebook dedicated to the whole series, it will be fun to go back to previous sessions!). There will be some writing and doodling during the workshop.
These workshops are designed to help you take a deeper look at what wellbeing means for you and for your context when joggling with all the unknowns of the current period. You can follow all workshops or only those that “speak” louder to you. We are going to create a safe space for learning and sharing, talking and reflecting silently, whatever works so that you feel that you’ve got a better grasp on how to stay safe and healthy, how to be kinder to yourself and better at supporting others.
Each well-being workshop will propose some pre-work, some homework and bibliography, if you feel like deepening your understanding of specific topics. These will not mean a lot of work but will help you integrate what is discussed in the workshop and continue the reflection at home. The approach is supported by reliable scientific models and statistics.
You will be able to continue the discussion, if you want, in the Facebook group we have created and where you’ll find most of the information and resources used for the class, plus more conversation and support.
