Be Bold Be You: Life Hack Series 2026
LIFE HACKS SATURDAY SERIES:
Five Community Experiments for Life's Next Chapter
What do you do when you're standing between what was and what comes next? As Bold At 319 enters a new season, we're bringing back one of our favourite traditions: Life Hacks.
Originally created in 2019, Life Hacks was never about teaching people how to optimise their lives. Instead, it was about ordinary people sharing unexpected wisdom, practical rituals, and personal discoveries that helped them navigate work, relationships, creativity, uncertainty, and change.
This July-August, five members of the Bold community return with their own modern interpretation of a Life Hack. Each session is a small experiment. A chance to pause, reflect, create, connect, and perhaps discover something you didn't know you needed.
Whether you're starting over, letting go, trying something new, or simply looking for good company, there's likely a session here for you.
✨ Five Saturdays. Five experiments. Five ways to move forward.
TICKETING FEE:
Each Life Hack session is priced at $5 per participant.
Your ticket helps cover administrative costs, materials, and refreshments where applicable, while making these community-led experiences accessible to a wider audience. More importantly, it is a small commitment to showing up for yourself and others. Spaces are limited and registration is required.
Programming Details
💅 25 July | 10.00am-12.00pm | Fresh Set for a Fresh Start with Jolie
A gentle introduction to nail art as a ritual of creativity, reflection, and beginning again. Learn simple techniques while taking time to slow down, connect, and prepare for what's next.
What to Expect:A guided introduction to different techniques: gradients, dots, french tips and anything else you might want to draw on your nails.
Leave with your nails done using regular polish
A dedicated time to relax and chat with others around you, reflecting on the rituals we have when we approach something new
Story behind this workshop:Since I often paint my own nails, I was offered an opportunity to hold a Life Hack as a throwback to the Nails Don’t Lie session held in 2019. I started painting my own nails as a form of creative expression, using whatever materials I have and $2 nail polish to do basic art. Nails have also evolved into a space for meditation and a way to break the ice for me.
As Bold moves into its next chapter, I thought the act of painting a fresh set of nails was a fitting representation of this transitional era. I hope this Life Hack session provides a space to reset and prepare for whatever is next for each of us.
❤️ 1 August | 9.30am- 11.30am| What We Carry Forward: Navigating Endings, Letting Go & New Beginnings with Heath
A reflective conversation about life transitions, change, uncertainty, and growth. Through storytelling and dialogue, explore what you're ready to release and what deserves to come with you into your next chapter.
What to Expect:A warm, welcoming and psychologically safe space for reflection and conversation
Opportunities to connect with others through small-group and whole-group dialogue
Stories and practical life lessons from everyday experiences of change, transition and growth
Guided reflection on what we may need to let go of and what we want to carry forward
A balance of hope, gratitude and possibility, while also making space for uncertainty, loss and difficult emotions
A calm, grounding experience designed to foster clarity, connection and meaningful learning
Story behind this workshop:Life is full of endings and beginnings. We graduate, leave jobs, move homes, outgrow relationships, discover new parts of ourselves, and sometimes find ourselves standing between what was and what comes next.
As this community marks the closing of a space that has been home for many over the past decade, I was inspired to create a conversation that explores how we navigate change in our own lives. Through listening, storytelling and shared reflection, we often discover that the wisdom we need is already present within us and among us.
This session is an invitation to slow down, make sense of endings, honour what has been meaningful, and explore what we wish to carry forward into the next chapter.
✨ 8–9 August |10.00am -1.00pm| Love Yourself: Goodbye, Doubt. Hello, Self-Love with Lyla
An interactive art experience celebrating self-expression, confidence, and personal growth. Created by young artists, this exhibition invites participants to reflect on identity, creativity, and self-acceptance.
What to Expect:
Student creating their own self-love stations, each designed around a personal interpretation of confidence, identity, and self-expression
Interactive art installations that invite reflection and participation
Meaningful conversations about self-love, growth and embracing individuality
Creative displays showcasing each student's journey and unique voice
Opportunities for families to connect, reflect, and celebrate together
A welcoming environment that encourages creativity, mindfulness and self-acceptance
Story behind this event:
As an vocal & art educator, I have seen how creative expression can empower children and families to build confidence, process emotions and discover their unique voices. This event was inspired by the belief that self-love begins with learning to let go of self-doubt and embracing who we are.Through art, mindfulness, and reflection, we hope to create a safe and welcoming space where participants can celebrate their individuality and recognise their own strengths. I hope this exhibition can serve as an inspiration for the community, student and parents who is in their own creative journey✨
🧘 15 August | 4.00pm - 6.30pm| The Art of Being Present with Katrina
Feeling caught between the past and the future? Through reflective conversations, guided breathwork, meditation, and light movement, explore simple practices for returning to the present moment.
What to Expect:
Reflective conversations
Guided breathwork, meditation and movement (light movement, but dress comfortably)
Story behind this workshop:“Life Hacks” immediately brought me to being present. Regardless of what I’m facing in life, the practice of being present always grounded and centered me, supporting me in navigating life’s rollercoasters and uncertainty. So i thought i’d host a session to share this beautiful practise 🙂
For anyone who feels caught between the past and the future, and wants to practise being more present in their everyday life. Whether you're navigating a transition, feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, or simply craving a moment to slow down, this session offers a space to pause, reconnect, and explore what helps you come back to the present.
⏰ 22 August | 2.00pm- 4.00pm| Are You the Pro in Procrastinating? with Dorothy
Bring that unfinished project you've been avoiding. Join fellow procrastinators for an afternoon of focused work, community support, accountability, and celebration. One hour at a time.
What to Expect:You can expect inspiration, community support, a comfortable space, FOOD? and celebration for the completion of your procrastinated Bold work.
You may think that you do that project alone, but today we are doing it together.
Bring an unfinished personal project, such as creative craft, a piece of writing, digital art or even just organizing your life documents.
We will have time for discussions, intentional work and for us to be each other's cheerleader.
Story behind the workshop:We have many creative projects on hand that we have been putting off. Perhaps due to internal resistance, lack of motivation or time.
And Bold has always been a space that empowers us to do more than what we thought possible. So perhaps being here in this space can work the same magic for others ✨
