Question 1

Who is this workshop for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who has been laid off, furloughed, RIF'd, or impacted by job loss whether it happened last week or months ago. This session is also relevant for those who accepted the DPR/VERA/VSIP and are looking for their next job or reimagining their careers.  All are welcome here.

Question 2

What if I was laid off weeks or months ago? Can I still attend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Some people join us days after a layoff. Others come months later when the dust has settled, but the uncertainty (and emotions) remain.

Question 3

What can I expect during the session?

Accepted Answer

This 60-minute lab includes gentle grounding exercises, reflection prompts, practical recovery tools, and other helpful resources.

Question 4

Do I have to share anything personal or be on camera?

Accepted Answer

Nope. Sharing is always optional. You’re welcome to listen, reflect, and participate in the way that feels right for you

Question 5

Can I invite a friend?

Accepted Answer

We encourage it! If you know someone who was laid off and could use some support, feel free to share this invitation with them. Everyone deserves support through this kind of transition.

Question 6

Do I have to attend the full 4-part series?

Accepted Answer

No. Each Lab stands on its own, so you can attend just one or join the full journey. You’ll get something valuable out of every session, and we’ll provide resources and reflections for you to keep exploring on your own.

Question 7

Will there be a recording?

Accepted Answer

We typically do NOT record these sessions to protect participants’ privacy and create a safer, more open space for reflection and discussion. Some non-personal resources or slides may be shared afterward.

Question 8

Is this really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This session (and the whole Layoff Resilience Lab series) is free to attend. You’ll also get access to worksheets and optional resources afterward. We offer these because we’ve been there too, and we believe in making meaningful support accessible when people need it most.

Question 9

Will there be other workshops or retreats in the future?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Geode Lifeworks regularly offers resilience-focused retreats, burnout prevention workshops, and wellbeing programs. Some are free, and others are paid. This Lab series is a great way to get a feel for our style and values before joining a longer-term experience.
