Questions Asked
When women contact me about my Retreats, they might ask – ‘What will I discover about myself? I’m not going to keep you in suspense and have you waiting until the end of my Blog! No, I am a kind person (!) so here are the (at least) 3 things you’ll discover –
What you give up of yourself in order to cope with your life
You are much more awesome than you realise!
Celebration of ‘being’ as well as ‘doing’
Also I get asked – ‘Who are the kind of Women who will be there?’ And my response may be – ‘If the following resonates with you, then that’s the kind of Women who will attend’.
“There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of.” (Nelson Mandela)
Having ran and also attended various kinds of Retreats over many years, I know you will gain so much from attending mine.
Why?
- I offer you respite from the busyness of today’s hectic life to make some space and quiet reflection on getting to know yourself again.
- Acknowledging who you really are will give you the ability to recognise what is working or not working for you. It also gives you permission to acknowledge your own truth
- It’ll be a place of quiet renewal where you can step back and assess who you are, where you are in life and where you are going.
- You’ll also have the chance to celebrate what you’ve learned so far about you and your life
- You can allow out your so-called flaws and vulnerability to be shared and then you can focus honestly on all that’s good within.
- You’ll have the space to reflect and enjoy the company of like-minded women so you will be fed physically, emotionally and spiritually.
- As you increase your sense of wellBEING, you will become more aware of what you can DO, and be able to celebrate your increased confidence in yourself.
My Retreats are for women like you who want to feel excited about life and their possibilities again. And as you re-connect with yourself, you’ll begin to find the courage to take the required steps to fulfil your dreams.
Pell off Onion layers
I am there to support, challenge and be alongside you as you ‘peel off layers of the onion’ (as is said) and it’s up to you how much you peel off and how you deal with that experience with the combination of my longstanding expertise, warmth, humour and unexpectedness on my Retreats.
You will have time for quiet reflection as well as fun and laughter and by the end of our time together, you’ll know you are a person in your own right, have enhanced self-awareness and a boost in confidence.
Testimonials
I’ll leave you with some Testimonials so you can hear from some participants – enjoyx
“The Visible Woman Retreat has been a valuable experience and has enabled me to see the next steps. I would thoroughly recommend this to other women in need of directions. Jo
“The Visible Woman Retreat in Majorca was a challenging but ultimately life-enhancing experience. Irene is a very warm, wise counsellor who gently but firmly challenges you to make a break with long held, limiting beliefs to enable you to grow into the best you can be. Kirsty
“It was a thought provoking and an inspirational way of finding out more about myself in a warm, caring, sharing environment with fun, good food and laughter along the way. More please! Cathy
