StoryLabs: What Are You Doing With Your Life?
NEVOX is running a StoryLabs session on this terrible existential question, explored sideways through objects we own, return to, and somehow get possessed by.
For this StoryLabs session, bring one small object with personal meaning — something sentimental, ordinary, funny, confusing, or simply something you’ve kept for reasons you may not fully understand.
Through guided small-group storytelling, you’ll explore memory, belonging, direction, and what feels possible now.
Session Details:
📅 Sat, 9 May
⌚ 4pm – 7.30pm
📍 Marine Terrace (exact details will be sent upon confirmation)
Free entry. Optional donations to Ground-Up Initiative's #guisbigmove are welcome, with $15 suggested for those who are able.

NotWorking: What Makes A Job Worth Waking Up For?
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.
This is a small-group facilitated conversation about the jobs that drain us, hold us, shape us, or keep us going. You’ll explore the question through desire, duty, and depletion: what we want from work, what life requires, and what work quietly takes from us.
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.
Event Details:
📆 Friday, 15 May 2026
⌚️ 6pm – 8.30pm
📍 Ground-Up Initiative, Kampung Kampus (11 Chencharu Close)
Free to attend. Optional $15 donation to Ground-Up Initiative upon arrival.
