August 21st – 23rd 2024
‘Conversations with the Collective’ Edition 3 took place from August 21st to 23rd, 2024. As a collective, we chose to hold the event virtually to reach a broader segment of our target audience and enhance accessibility, especially in light of the financial constraints many participants faced in our previous event.
Through past experiences, discussions, and research, we recognized a significant need for creatives to receive more support in addressing their mental and psychological challenges. We found that, even among our founding members, feelings of anxiety, stress, and burnout are common at various points in life. While these feelings are normal, persistent anxiety can lead to more serious mental health issues.
The timing of these three days was crucial, given the lingering effects of political unrest and injustice in the country. The purpose of this wellness event was to provide participants with a safe space to discuss their struggles, gain insights from experts on establishing healthy boundaries to safeguard their mental well-being, differentiate between stress and burnout, and understand the importance of self-care and self-love.
