4.30pm: Redefining Your Relationship with Alcohol for a Healthier, Happier You with Dominic McGregor

In this eye-opening session, entrepreneur and mental health advocate Dominic McGregor shares the personal journey that led him to quit alcohol and rebuild his life—while also building a £300M global business.

As a 19-year-old co-founder of Social Chain, Dom was at the forefront of a fast-paced, high-pressure world, working with brands like Apple, Amazon, and McDonald’s. But behind the success was a different story—burnout, addiction, and a stark realisation that alcohol was breaking him down, not helping him cope.

Now seven years sober, Dom will reveal how cutting out alcohol supercharged his mental clarity, emotional resilience, relationships, and professional success—and why so many people are starting to rethink their relationship with drinking.
But this is about more than personal change—it’s about exploring the drinking culture we all live in.

Dom will explore:

• How alcohol has been normalised as a coping mechanism in business and social life
• The myths around sobriety being ‘boring’ or ‘anti-social’ and the societal shifts we are seeing in re-defining what 'fun' looks like
• How reducing alcohol can lead to better leadership, sharper decision-making, and sustainable success
• Practical advice, tips, and tricks from Dom on how to build a healthier, more balanced lifestyle—for yourself or to support someone else

This is a real talk for anyone curious about drinking less, performing better, and finding a healthier balance—without sacrificing their ambitions or social life.

12.45pm: Women's Mind & Body Workshop with Dr Maja Schaedel

Have you ever wondered why it is that women have such high rates of anxiety and depression compared to men? And why is it that women suffer from insomnia more than men? We now know that the differences in girls' mental health starts to change around the time that they start their periods. It's around this time that we notice that girls have more anxiety, depression and sleep problems. But are hormones just to blame? Or is it our brains? And what can we do about it? In this session we will look at the particular societal pressures on girls and women, the way this interacts with hormones to lead to women suffering and we learn some strategies to fight this.

I will cover:
• My own story and relationship with stress, anxiety, sleep as a woman and a clinical psychologist
• Social and psychological pressures on women, such as pressure to perform better than men to prove their worth, pressure to look a certain way to be seen as acceptable, pressure to hold responsibility for whole family, threat of sexual violence
• How this type of stress and pressure interacts with brain functioning and the sympathetic nervous system
• Ways to resist these pressures, including thoughts strategies, daily mantras, changing aspects of your life to fight the pressures we feel (e.g. exercise for pleasure rather than appearance, put limits on social media usage on phones, schedule time with people who feed your soul rather than take away from it)
• Strategy to calm the sympathetic nervous system (e.g. thought defusion exercise)

4.30pm: Breath-Led Movement for Stress Relief with Shaun Brooking

In this immersive session, we guide the body back to its organic breath patterns by first releasing stress-held tension in the muscular system. Through gentle, targeted movement, we create space in key areas such as the ribs, mid-back, jaw, and hips, unlocking restrictions that may be limiting breath efficiency.

Once the body is primed, we integrate natural movement with guided breathwork, allowing for deep nervous system regulation. Unlike conventional breathwork practices that begin with structured breathing techniques, our approach ensures that the body is fully prepared to receive breath in a way that feels effortless and restorative. This three-layered method harmonises the physical body, breath, and nervous system, helping participants easily access states of relaxation, emotional balance, and improved performance.

Perfect for anyone looking to relieve stress, enhance movement, and reconnect with a more natural state of being.
