Life Lessons at the Barbican

The Life Lessons Festival was a thought-led wellbeing festival taking place early February 2020 which delivered a weekend of workshops and meaningful talks from some of the most highly regarded thinkers of today.

In support of its mission to promote wellbeing as a larger project of sustainability and community building, Yodomo partnered with Life Lessons to offer drop-in creative demonstrations and workshops on mindful making in the Barbican’s Conservatory Space.

Throughout the weekend, the festival offered inspiring talks and stimulating hands-on craft activities where participants were invited to join in the process of bookbinding, carving a wooden spoon by hand, creating a lampshade, weaving a basket, illustrating, and making fashion accessories from recycled leather.
