What Our Community Loves

"I really liked the concept

of an educational workshop intercut with practical exercises. Whenever I needed a break from the lecture, I could shift my attention to the exercise and then return to the main subject.

I'd be more than happy to attend a face-to-face session. When can we do this again? It was so much fun!"


Sian, Procurement Assistant Manager

"Intriguing and very unique experience"

"Celia, what a great conversation. I found this specific topic quite intriguing, very unique in that we often forget that it places a vital role in our well being. What an informative talk and I do hope to cross paths again in hopes to delve deeper into a topic that I feel will benefit not only the corporate world but our individual lives as well."


Alexandria Wood-Ward, The Anatomy of Life

"We really loved having you with us"

"Thanks again for coming in — we really loved having you with us.

We had a great time and learned a lot from the session. I really liked the way you explained things and how easily you connected with us. We were engaged the whole time and genuinely enjoyed it.

From all of us at Lab of Future, thank you for a great session."


Hazem Abdullah, Lab of Future

An Anti-Silo Playbook:

starting kit for applying the Archaeology for Wellbeing method


In high-performance teams, stress rarely comes from lack of skill or effort.

Communication erosion and isolation is a by-product of sustained cognitive load.

This isn’t a personal resilience issue.
It’s a systems problem.

Let's address what's on your mind...

  • Do participants need any prior knowledge of archaeology?

    Not at all! The workshops are designed to be accessible and engaging for everyone, regardless their background in archaeology. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to participate.

  • How are the workshops structured? Is it just a lecture, or is there active participation?

    The workshops are interactive and participatory. While there are segments of guided learning, participants will also engage in activities, discussions, and reflections. The aim is to ensure everyone is actively involved, making the experience both educational and transformative.

  • What's the maximum number of participants for each workshop?

    To ensure an intimate and compelling learning environment, each workshop is designed for a maximum of 10-12 participants. This allows for meaningful interactions and ensures everyone has the opportunity to actively participate.

  • How does archaeology relate to team bonding and well-being?

    Archaeology provides a unique pathway to well-being and team bonding. The past is used here to spark conversations and break the cycle of loneliness, misunderstandings, and miscommunications.

    My workshops empower participants to learn - enhancing their self-esteem and fostering a deeper understanding of each other. By recognizing the profound impact of the past on our identities, we gain the agency to shape our future, reminding us that we aren't bound by history but inspired by it.

    Drawing from core principles of well-being - taking notice, learning, and connecting - I craft experiences that invigorate individual growth and team cohesion.
