If someone told you a stack of colourful LEGO® bricks could help untangle the mess in your head, you might laugh. But that’s exactly what Asobu Labs and Global Shapers Kochi are inviting you to try on 13th September 2025 with LEGO® for the Soul.
LEGO® for the Soul is a three-hour (3:00–6:00 PM) event at French Toast, Kacheripady, where play becomes a gentle way to notice what’s happening inside you. No expertise required. Just bring yourself, a little curiosity, and permission to play like you did as a child.
Why LEGO®?
Play is more than kid stuff. It helps us express things we can’t easily put into words, sharpen focus, and tap into a kind of quiet creativity that is strangely calming. The session pairs hands-on building with guided reflection and mindful exercises. You don’t just make things, you notice feelings, patterns, and small insights that appear while your hands are busy. Think of it as a creative timeout where the bricks do the talking.
This workshop is part of Project Pratiksha, Global Shapers Kochi’s mental health initiative that aims to create safe and inclusive spaces for healing and explore community-driven approaches to well-being.
Asobu Labs, a consulting hub that works with startups and SMEs on holistic, future-focused growth, are bringing their thoughtful approach to this session with a simple idea in mind: play first, reflect later.

Why this might be worth your time
Healing sometimes looks like small, quiet things. You don’t need to unpack your entire life in one go. You might build something silly, realise why a colour or shape comforts you, or simply enjoy three hours of being present without your phone taking over your mind. And if nothing else, it is a different way to meet people who are also trying to be kinder to themselves.
If you have been running on autopilot, this is your chance to pause. Come for the bricks, stay for the insights, and leave with a tiny, tangible reminder that small acts of play can shift how you feel, brick by brick.
