January invites a fresh start. Designer and educator Emmi Salonen introduces Creative Wellbeing Reset: an evening to refuel your practice for the year ahead, anchored in her new book The Creative Wellbeing Handbook. Expect practical tools, honest conversation, and space to reconnect with why you create.

This event is for anyone who’s felt stuck, overwhelmed or in need of a spark – whether you’re a designer, writer, artist, or simply trying to stay inspired while juggling life’s demands. We’ll explore Emmi’s Creative Ecosystem model and how it can help you find focus, calm pressure, and build a sustainable rhythm for making work you’re proud of.

Across a short visual talk, a lively panel, and time to meet others, we will:
• Share ways to sustain creative energy through Creative Ecosystem model's five core areas: Connection, Wonder, Pause, Movement and Joy
• Hear insights on leadership, sustainable careers, culture change and wonder-led practice
• Ask questions, swap notes, and leave with simple habits you can use tomorrow

Come to reconnect, learn, and set a kinder pace for the year ahead. Together.

With:
James Hurst – Chief Creative Officer, ZAC (Panel Chair)
Emmi Salonen – Studio Emmi
Emily Forgot – Graphic Artist
Laura Hunter – Founder, The Now Work

Copies of Emmi’s book will be on sale at the event. The evening closes with networking drinks and a book signing.
