A gathering about how ideals take shape—not just for founders, but for anyone trying to live more creatively.

The Ideal Grounding Club invites entrepreneurs, creators, and everyday experimenters to share the unfinished parts of their stories:

The idea you've refined but haven't launched. The project you kept working on after your team gave up. The moment you chose to keep going, despite identity pressure, limited resources, or creative isolation.

This is not a Demo Day. It’s not a traditional networking event. There are no polished pitches or predetermined wins—only real stories of doubt, decisions, and doing it anyway.

We believe entrepreneurship isn’t reserved for the elite. It’s a daily practice for anyone trying to live with more intention and imagination.

Come with your “unfinished,” and listen to how others have turned uncertainty into personal truth.

Sometimes, it’s not you who finds a book — it’s a book that finds you.

Book Blind Swap is an intimate book-sharing ritual that blends instinct, emotion, and storytelling.
You’ll bring one book, wrapped and anonymous, along with a handwritten quote.
What you’ll take home is not only a new book — but also a moment of resonance.

This Vol.3 edition features a new element:
✨ Genre-Inspired Circles — Participants will be grouped into small tables (5 people each) based on a short pre-event quiz. Themed groups like The Memoirs, The Sci-Fi Novels, and The Travel Journals create space for deeper, more focused conversation.

Off Duty Lab is a collective life experiment that invites 25 participants to sit at tables of five and explore who they might become outside of work.
Together, we’ll step away—just briefly—from roles, deadlines, and productivity, to ask a different set of questions:
Who are we when we’re not working?
And where might life lead, if not toward usefulness?

With group-based imagination tasks, identity reassignments, and a co-created “off-duty” wall of notes,
this is a soft pause for anyone curious about what else life could be.

What if your future connection could begin not with guessing, but with clarity?

This workshop invites you to reflect on your past relationship experiences, explore your emotional patterns, and articulate your personal preferences in intimacy, communication, and shared rhythm. Through guided writing, blind box sharing, and open-ended reflection, you'll draft your own Relationship User Manual — not a list of demands, but a gentle invitation for understanding.

Before others try to read you, try writing yourself first.

We each carry a version of ourselves that fits what society, family, or culture expects.
And then there’s the one we imagine, when no one’s looking.

In this workshop, we’ll gently explore both of them — not to choose between them, but to place them side by side and simply see.

You’ll write two identity cards, share stories at your own pace, and finish by creating two symbolic self-portraits:
One for the version others often see, and one for the person you wish to become.

A sensory-based workshop where scent becomes a thread to trace forgotten memories.
We’ll explore how smell connects to emotion and story—through guided aroma discovery, collage-making, and reflection. You’ll leave with a scent-inspired memory map that’s entirely your own.

We often care for others, but rarely check in with the younger self still living within us.
This gentle session invites you to reconnect with your inner child through meditation, writing, and visual expression. Come sit with your past self, and listen to what they’ve been wanting to say.
