🧘♀️ No instructions, no pressure! Just bring your own Lego and build whatever you like.

Description:
🏗️ Lego Mindful Building – Monthly Drop-in Sessions
- Hosted by: Olga Novoa, User Experience Designer
- Inspired by: https://wiki.gccollab.ca/Convergence
- When: Second Friday of each month
- Time: 12:30–1:00 PM ET (30 minutes)
- Where: Microsoft Teams
🌟 Purpose
- A calm, creative space for public servants to:
- Unwind and reset during the workday
- Engage in mindful play using their own Lego sets
- Connect with like-minded colleagues across departments
- Build freely or follow a simple monthly template
🧘♀️ How It Works
- No instructions, no pressure, just play!
- All levels and expertise
- Bring your own Lego set or bricks.
- Each session will begin with a quick hello and a shared basic build template (e.g., a mini chair, a tiny tree, a smiley face).
- Participants can follow the template or work on their own creations.
- Cameras on or off, your comfort matters.
- No need to finish anything, this is about the process, not the product.
🏗️ First Few Monthly Build Ideas
Here are some simple, creative ideas using generic Lego bricks:
July – “Mini Garden”
Build a tiny flower, tree, or potted plant.
Optional: Use green, brown, and bright colours.
August – “Lego Letters”
Build the first letter of your name.
Optional: Try different fonts or styles.
September – “Tiny Chair”
Build a miniature chair or bench.
Optional: Make it sturdy enough to hold a Lego figure.
