DAY 1
UNDERSTANDING BURNOUT
Day 1 focuses on understanding burnout in a deeper, more nuanced way.
Through panels, workshops, and conversations, we explore what burnout really is, why it happens, and how it shows up across different areas of life - from work and identity to relationships and the body.
This day is about building awareness, gaining language, and recognising patterns that often go unnoticed.
