Design Your Life
A Course in Living
Life changes. What matters to you, the choices available to you and the responsibilities you carry may change with it. Design Your Life is Vita Designata’s educational approach to exploring those questions and taking considered next steps.
It brings together books, reflective resources and learning experiences to help people examine their lives more consciously. It invites reflection on values, purpose, decisions, relationships, wellbeing and contribution, without prescribing a single model of a good life.
Begin where you are
You can start with Vita Designata’s books and the public introduction to its author-developed V-SPAD-D-REWS™ framework. Its ten dimensions are Values, Self, Purpose, Agency, Design, Discernment, Relationships, Environment, Wellbeing and Stewardship.
If you arrived from There’s Life After Work, consider what you want to preserve, what may need attention and one thoughtful next step as you approach or experience life beyond work. You do not need to share your reflections on this page.
Explore the functioning Learning Experiences Lab
Explore the books and frameworks, then begin One Considered Step, The Decision Matrix Studio or Running Up That Hill Studio in the Learning Experiences Lab. These educational activities are publicly available in the Learning Experiences Lab. No account or enrolment is required.
A clear boundary
Vita Designata frameworks and reflection tools are author-developed educational resources. They are not scientifically, clinically or psychometrically validated assessments and do not replace individual medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
