WOMAN ALIVE - it's your time to SHINE!

Welcome to Woman Alive - it's your time to SHINE! This series of workshops is designed to help you regain your "lightness of being". Have you noticed, you have gradually slipped into exhaustion, no longer feeling excited by your life, or your careers, or relationships? Joy is in short supply, and it HURTS when you think of the loss of laughter and fun. You don't like feeling like this - you know yourself as a woman who is a conscientious worker, loving partner and mother and you give your time unstintingly to your loved ones.

You are known for being capable, getting things done, being the reliable one. But, although you do this with a full heart, you have begun to notice you have gradually slipped down the priority list. You're putting other people first and worse still, you're feeling overwhelmed, trapped and frustrated. Understandably, you wonder if joy and laughter are lost forever.

But I want to reassure you: there IS hope and you CAN get your life back again.

Woman Alive! integrates art therapy practices with women-centred coaching to help women like you reconnect with your inner knowing and deepest desires. These workshops reignite the energy and focus that will help to open you up to your full self-expression - without risking the loss of everything that is important to you.

Woman Alive! is an eight-part program that will help you develop self-confidence, and re-awaken joy, energy and purpose in your life.

No artistic ability is required! In fact, sometimes it is better to come with a "beginner's mind"!

Please note: the content of this event has been designed for women over 35. It won't be relevant for men. If you have any queries, please get in touch at [email protected]

Program Details:

Week 1. Introductions. Shared agreements. Masculine and Feminine commonly-held assumptions. What is power? The 8 areas of self-realisation. Life journey. Where to now?

Week 2. Where are you right now, in terms of your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual fields? What's well integrated, what's missing, not working? You'll be able to identify your deep desires/longings in the 8 areas of self-realisation.

Week 3. Somatic awareness. How the body relates to your psychology. Tuning in with emotion. Walking the talk.

Week 4. Visual Journaling - process, interpretation. Learning to embed a strong daily practice to manifest what you want in your life.

Week 5. The three areas of power. Connecting with self, others, the world. Old story, new story.

Week 6. Activating the three areas of power. Manifesting abundance - practices and actions.

Week 7. Seven key practices to stay in power and manifest a new reality.

Week 8. Integrating - Harvest, Compost and Appreciate. Turn REACTIVITY into CREATIVITY. Moving forwards, what support do you need to stay in your power? Where can you get that support?

In each session, we will use mindfulness meditation and creative arts activities, reflection and group discussion. The aim is to help you re-connect with your inner wisdom, and lighten up around your troubles with compassion. You will learn simple techniques you can then apply outside the course, in your life, helping with emotional regulation, self-sabotage and conflict resolution. You will get better at listening to your intuition, setting boundaries and asking for what you want. And you will notice there is more fun in your life!

The experiences and contribution of each group member are essential to the growth of each individual - we grow together, and stand strong together. As each woman reconnects with her own innate fountain of joy and humour, so the whole world starts looking brighter.

Materials:

All materials will be provided, unless otherwise notified at an earlier workshop.
