learnshedLIVE – OUR STORY

Like all good startups, our dream began with a story. We all shared a passion, and that passion was the love of learning new things. And so it was that one weekend one of us wanted to go on a workshop with a world-renowned teacher. But the course was in Cork and that meant not only finding money for the workshop itself, but also for the travel and accommodation. As costs really began mounting up, so did the reality of the situation. It was just too inconvenient, too expensive to justify. It was disappointing and frustrating. This started her thinking. Learning with inspiring teachers could be expensive. And if she felt it inaccessible then there would surely be many other people who felt it too. Education on location is great but it has limitations – time (it takes to get there) cost (of both travel and the course itself) and the number of spaces available (there’s only so many people a teacher wants in their classroom and this then impacts the cost). That’s why the E-learning industry is booming. It seeks to address these restrictions. But that too comes with limitations. We had a really good look around and found things, well, a little uninspiring. Webinars are great, but they can feel a little impersonal. Feeling engaged doesn’t come quite as naturally as actually being there, together in the same room with the teacher. So we created The Life Adventure to offer a new way to learn. Live stream bridges the gap between the emotion of actually being there, together with the teacher and the ease of learning online. Our belief is that everyone has the right to learn. It provides personal growth, gives hope, raises the conversation and creates happiness borne from newfound knowledge.

So we decided to offer all live broadcasts free of charge. If you like what you see and can afford it, we also give you the option to pay to download a copy for yourself, to refer to again and again. You’ll find that whilst our teachers are really special, the price for each workshop is vastly more affordable than many offline comparatives. And each workshop purchased helps us to fund our free education model.
