A live storytelling event about the shifts that shape us and move us forward.  
It began as one night in Vancouver, BC. A lively room. A few voices. Honest stories about change, courage, and the moments that shift a life. People leaned in. Something sparked. Now we’re coming to other cities.

An evening at SHIFT inspired me to change gears into midlife with more grace + joy than i thought was possible. (and if you don't remember that cars used to be manual, you are not ready yet for midlife!) It's really not over yet!

SHIFT sessions was a special gathering that made me laugh, tear up, reflect and leave inspired and reminded by all that's possible in an aligned mid-life. If you're someone who is less into 'just another event' but into experiences that make touch you where it matters most, it's probably for you.

SHIFT is coming your way

The SHIFT Sessions is a travelling series of short talks, honest conversations, and hometown stories told by the people rooted in each city. No fluff. Just ideas and stories that help us see midlife with new eyes.
We’ll be adding more cities soon. Each one a different room. A different mix of local voices. The same intention.

SHIFT Sessions Spotlight

About SHIFT: 7 Mindsets for an Inspired Midlife, by Peter Reek

You can drift through midlife. Or, you can SHIFT. Three commitments, seven mindsets, and only one second half. Live it well.
SHIFT is a conversation about mindset, meaning, courage, and clarity.

Not a pep talk. A gentle hand on your shoulder. Three commitments. Seven mindsets. An invitation to slow down, to pay attention, to let yourself be surprised. Backed by research, made for real life, with simple tools, small steps and generous questions that open you up to the second half of your life.

SHIFT isn’t about reinvention. It’s about remembering who you are. Who you’ve always been. And learning to live from that place with gusto and verve.
