The Life Design Lab
What if designing your life was something you could experiment with in a fun, playful environment?
The Life Design Lab is a Third Nature Summer Camp-inspired event for people who don’t feel at home on the default path.
It’s for people who want to live with more depth, play, and intention and are open to stepping outside of autopilot to find it.
Built by the Third Nature team, the Lab is part of a broader practice of creating shared experiences that help people feel more connected, engaged, and fulfilled in all aspects of their lives.
This is for you if:
You’re carving your own path in NYC but still crave connection with others who get it
You want more depth, aliveness, and play
You’re drawn to thoughtful, creative people who are still learning and growing
What to expect:
Crafts and games to get you connected with your GPS (aka Good Peeps Squad)
A “Wheel of Loving Life” framework to explore how satisfied you are when it comes to connection, mindset, purpose, and play
A playful crowdsourcing activity where you'll exchange ideas with others
Leave with your "Summer 2026 BINGO Card" filled with activities you're choosing for yourself in this next season of life
No lectures. No forced networking. No obsession with self-optimization.
Just a shared space where authenticity feels natural, child-like curiosity is encouraged, and everyone has something to learn + something to teach.
What to bring:
A journal
Something to write with
What you'll leave with:
Clarity on what feels most alive for you right now
New connections with people who care about living with intention
Concrete next steps to build a life you love even more that you can begin next week
A felt sense that you are not alone in carving a non-traditional path
Third Nature is a community and experience design practice for people who want to feel more connected - to themselves, to each other, and to nature.
We create spaces that blend play and depth, from our Adult Summer Camp to intimate gatherings and workshops throughout the year. The goal is simple: help people step off of autopilot (second nature) and into a more engaged, intentional way of living.
