Creative Seasonal Reset Sessions

You can sign up here to a very occasional (no need to worry I will be flooding your in-box with emails) Niceletter so you don’t miss any future dates.

“I attended the session as I needed time and space to pause and reflect and this
was a great opportunity. I was surprised by how fast time flew by (or perhaps it
slowed down!) and I wished we had longer. I enjoyed being creative and I was
pleased with my insights and discoveries. I am excited about what comes next
as a result of my inspired actions. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious,
seeking change, wants to connect with their inner self, their life and their future.”
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
“I enjoyed the company and the ambiance of the surroundings which provided
peaceful and reflective atmosphere. It was an opportunity for me to slow down
and think about what was important for me at this present time in my life. I was
surprised at what was able to come to light in such a short space of time and
I am excited about the future. I wish there was even more time to ponder and
create. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to find a sense of
direction in their life and a positive action plan.“
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
“I came today because I wanted to find direction, find out who I really was and
what was important to me. I enjoyed the time, the space and the company. I came
away with greater awareness, some tools which I am going to use and a new
understanding about how my perception contributed to the quality of my life.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to find a more balanced and happy
place in their life.”
