Exploring the intersect
of well-being, art & design

Self Practice is both a community and research platform, exploring the intersect of well-being, art and design; which firmly believes that the most important relationship we have in our lives is that with ourselves.

When we are able to connect with ourselves, understand our patterns, behaviours, preferences and needs - we can use these reflections and take actionable steps towards more aligned personal, professional and creative practices.

Founded by Lauren Trend, Self Practice is a multidisciplinary hub offering you both online and offline space to know yourself better. Through our events, workshops, interviews and articles and you will find tips, tools, references and resources that strive to gently remind you to part take in compassionate and continued self-practice.

With an academic background in design and a commitment to intersectional well-being, Self Practice is the aggregation of all that interests me — professionally, creatively, personally and politically. At its core, Self Practice is the acknowledgment and exploration of the total self.

As cathartic as fostering this space has been for my own personal trajectory, since its inception, Self Practice has become a global community and widely used resource for those eager to explore the intersect of wellbeing, art and design alongside me.

And so, addressed here within our research, workshops, events, and platform at large is the inquiry of the total self. Tools, resources and references are shared with you here, with the intention of encouraging self-reflection and inspired action.

I believe that no two definitions of well-being are the same and will always work to ensure that self-practice is for Every Body. This space is yours and all of you is welcome here.

Welcome to Self Practice.
