The New Year can be a great time to get clear and intentional with action, but without a framework, strategy, and supportive space to step back, reflect, and find what's most needed now to move towards, it can feel overwhelming.
This 1.5 hour online workshop with founder of Another Way, Matt Defina, and founder of Mahasoma, Laura Poole, is something we wanted to empower our community with so together we can keep contributing to meaningful change in our world.
Matt's expertise in evidence-based psychology, embodiment practices, nature-based systems, and real-world leadership helps guide people to gain clarity in their direction, deeper connection to their true purpose, and an inspired way of taking meaningful action.
This workshop is designed for leaders, creatives, professionals, founders, and community builders who want to cut through overwhelm, reconnect with what truly matters, and move forward with intention.
Blending storytelling, guided reflection, and practical tools, Matt will guide us through an interactive session where you’ll be supported to slow down, zoom out, and reorient yourself toward what you genuinely want to pursue next.
What to expect:
• Clarify where your energy and attention are currently going
• Identify your One Meaningful Goal - the priority that matters most right now
• Translate insight into daily and weekly habits that build momentum
• Develop your MAP (Mini Action Plan) — a simple, practical roadmap to move from clarity to action
What you’ll leave with:
• A clear sense of direction and renewed focus
• A meaningful, personally aligned goal
• A tangible MAP you can implement immediately
• Sustainable habits that support consistent progress
Matt doesn't do motivational talks that simply reference a list of productivity hacks. With COMPASS, he has thoughtfully designed the experience to bridge insight and execution, feminine and masculine, gentleness and success, helping you move forward with purpose, one intentional step at a time.
