April 13: Renewal, Tradition, and New Beginnings

April is a month of cultural calendar club takeover!

 

Today we celebrate Songkran, the Thai New Year — a festival rooted in tradition, reflection, and fresh starts.

At its heart, Songkran is about renewal. It’s a time to let go of the past year, show respect to elders, and welcome the year ahead with hope and positive intention.

While many now know it for its vibrant water celebrations, the meaning behind it runs deeper — symbolising cleansing, gratitude, and family connection.

It’s a reminder that new beginnings don’t always require grand changes — sometimes they start with reflection and intention.

Mental Health Awareness Week: Beyond Coping: An Open Conversation About Mental Health at Work

How we talk about mental health at work matters - and so does how we listen, show up, and create environments where ourselves and others feel seen, heard, and valued.

In this 60-minute session for Mental Health Awareness Week, Solène Anglaret invites you into a reflective and practical conversation about mental health and inclusion at work. Together, we’ll explore:

What mental health means and the many ways in which we look after ourselves and each other (or sometimes don't...)

What makes mental health inclusion a fundamental part of workplace culture, and how we can each contribute

How our identities - such as gender, race, class, and neurodivergence - shape our experiences of mental health and access to support

With a mindful welcome, space for reflection, and clear takeaways, this session will open up a meaningful conversation about mental health at work.
