Zendegi Beyond Deadlines A mini retreat for Persians in tech to slow down, reset, and reconnect after Toronto Tech Week. Tech life can quietly take over. The pressure to perform, build, deliver, and stay sharp often leaves little room to actually recover. For many of us, immigration stress, family responsibilities, and everything happening back home add another layer. Zendegi Beyond Deadlines is a cottage-style retreat where we’re bringing together a team of psychologists, yoga instructors, and meditation guides to help us explore how rest, mindfulness, and mental reset can improve performance at work. What to expect A psychologist-led discussion on stress, performance, work pressure, and balance in life. A self-awareness activity to understand your stress style and patterns. Guided yoga to relax, breathe, and release tension. Guided meditation to reset your nervous system. Refreshments and snacks. Networking and casual conversations. Where & When Join us on Sunday, May 31 at a waterfront cottage near Bolton for psychology, yoga, meditation, fresh air, and a little touch grass energy after Toronto Tech Week. Who is this for? All are welcome. Sessions will be in Farsi to make the experience more natural, comfortable, and meaningful. #TTW Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–30, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech.
