​Zendegi Beyond Deadlines

​A mini retreat for Persians in tech to slow down, reset, and reconnect after Toronto Tech Week.

​Tech life can quietly take over. The pressure to perform, build, deliver, and stay sharp often leaves little room to actually recover.

​For many of us, immigration stress, family responsibilities, and everything happening back home add another layer.

​Zendegi Beyond Deadlines is a cottage-style retreat where we’re bringing together a team of psychologists, yoga instructors, and meditation guides to help us explore how rest, mindfulness, and mental reset can improve performance at work.

​What to expect

• ​A psychologist-led discussion on stress, performance, work pressure, and balance in life.

• ​A self-awareness activity to understand your stress style and patterns.

• ​Guided yoga to relax, breathe, and release tension.

• ​Guided meditation to reset your nervous system.

• ​Refreshments and snacks.

• ​Networking and casual conversations.

​Where & When

​Join us on Sunday, May 31 at a waterfront cottage near Bolton for psychology, yoga, meditation, fresh air, and a little touch grass energy after Toronto Tech Week.

​Who is this for?

​All are welcome. Sessions will be in Farsi to make the experience more natural, comfortable, and meaningful.
