Self-discovery workshops

Making life less complicated…

Welcome to the Self Discovery Lab

SDL has been successfully delivering self-development workshops for over 10 years. We started by running local workshops to those affected by stress and anxiety disorders - guiding participants through awareness of their physical symptoms, behaviours and thoughts.

Today we recognise that most individuals struggle with their own emotions and behaviours, or simply search for more direction, passion or meaning in life. So, we have rebranded the workshops to offer targeted events for individuals trying to navigate their way through life in this stressful, fast-paced society. We also provide amazing residential retreats for those who are looking for more profound shifts.

Learn the science of feeling great!

Our research shows that participating in a group dynamic offers an opportunity to objectively reflect, learn from others, and shift perspectives more powerfully. Our workshops (Discovery Bites) are designed to challenge the status quo, build awareness around unhelpful thoughts and habits, and re-introduce ways of ‘being’ that you had forgotten about. Our residential retreats are in holiday destinations for those who want to completely immerse themselves in a deeper transformative learning experience. Click below for more details.

“It was nice to have a retreat that focused on self-care and self-development rather than just the yoga. Some really nice connections made with some amazing women. I would say lifelong connections. Thank you to Despina and thank you Self Discovery Lab for making it happen.”

“My first retreat and I wasn’t disappointed. Accommodation was great, food was local and Crete was stunning (especially our sailing trip – highlight!). BUT in all honesty it was more than just a holiday. I have never spent time together with just women, and it was a magical experience. Supportive and nurturing with a lot of laughs. Would highly recommend SDL to anyone.”

"The self discovery lab was a wonderful experience, I’m so glad I went. The journey Despina used that brings you to connection and sense of self is truly a gift. I do find meditation difficult but by the end of the guided meditation I got my breath so deep, I felt incredibly light. Highly recommended this, for everyone living in this difficult society . Very grateful for my experience ♥️🙏🏽"

"A wonderful experience in a wonderful location . The facilitators were generous with their time and expertise, and I came away having learned so, so much - about myself, about how life can - and should - be. And Crete itself went way beyond my expectations, even though I've been there before. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I recommend this retreat to all women everywhere."
