NEVOX is running a StoryLabs session on this terrible existential question, explored sideways through objects we own, return to, and somehow get possessed by.

Through guided small-group storytelling, youโ€™ll explore memory, belonging, direction, and what feels possible now.โ€‹

NotWorking: What Makes A Job Worth Waking Up For?โ€‹

NEVOX is asking this "NotWorking" question on a Friday evening after work, from 6pm to 8.30pm, as the sun sets at Ground-Up Initiative.โ€‹

This is a small-group facilitated conversation about the jobs that drain us, hold us, shape us, or keep us going. Youโ€™ll explore the question through desire, duty, and depletion: what we want from work, what life requires, and what work quietly takes from us.โ€‹

No networking, no career advice panel, no need to sound impressive. Just people talking honestly about work at the end of the week, before the weekend begins.โ€‹
