TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD YOUR TRUE SELF

FINALLY RELEASE OTHERS' EXPECTATIONS AND BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE...

... without shame, worry, or losing the life you've built

So many women end up in the same place when they reach a certain age.

After years of looking after others, trying their best, and doing what they've been told, they wake up one morning and discover ...
 

They're not where they want to be.


They aren't living the exciting, enjoyable life they'd always dreamed of.
 

They aren't madly in love with the perfect partner, or anywhere near finding them.
 

They're not in a career that changes the world, or that makes a difference to people's lives.

In fact …


Life feels dull and grey.


They're going through the motions, bored of the daily routine.
 

They feel unattractive, unappealing, and un-sexy.


And no matter what other people think of them and the confident, clever character they might have created …


… inside these women feel as if they are wearing a mask, hiding themselves to please the world and keep themselves out of danger.

We don't think any woman should live like that - especially not at this moment in your life, where you have the chance to step up to something bigger, brighter and bolder.


But taking that step up isn't easy, especially if you're disconnected from your wise, inner voice after years of playing by other people's rules.
 

To take that step up, you have to carve out time for yourself. Time that allows you to go deep within and explore who you are and what you want in this next chapter.


Time that brings clarity and focus to your life.
 

Time that replenishes and revitalises you.
 

Time for you to come up with your own answers to what brings you joy, freedom and wholeness.
 

Time for you to be held, supported and guided to your most authentic self.

NOW IS THAT TIME.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Removing the roots of resistance

Astra squirrels down to the root cause of resistance and pulls me up from drowning in the detail. They have helped me identify my goals and revisit my values, and collaborated on a plan to get there - all communicated with such clarity and simplicity.

Space in which to explore the unspoken

Gillian has an extraordinary ability to create spaciousness so that a session with her feels just the right amount of time to gain precious outcomes. She has a real talent for hearing the unspoken and makes sure you feel safe enough to explore there. I highly recommend Gillian to anyone actively engaged in their evolution.

Powerful insight in a safe container

Being facilitated by Astra felt like a warm, soothing embrace, where I could fully surrender. Eleanor created space for all of me to simply be, and the deep trust & states of safety I felt in this space allowed powerful insight and emotional breakthroughs to happen in such an empowering way.

Judgement-free, trustworthy connections

Gilian gave me a safe space to think and explore which helped to create order out of the chaos in my head. She gently nudged me to consider the positive aspects I had overlooked. At one stage I revealed things about my past, which to some could be quite shocking. But I knew that I could trust her with pertinent facts and that I would not be judged on them.

A deepness beyond words

The embodiment session really felt like an exploration with a deepness beyond explanation and literally so complex that words can't put it. Astra's work is outstanding. Like not from this planet, almost like a psychedelic experience.

Seeing yourself as so much more

I liked Gillian’s honest approach, her enthusiasm, understanding, and the humour she brought. Rather than just seeing myself as an employee or a mother, I now think of myself with so many more facets. She helped me to open big doors allowing me to start exploring within myself even more.

FAQS

Do I need to have done this sort of thing before?

Absolutely not. The activities will all be accessible and explained clearly by your facilitators, so even if you've never been on retreat or done things like this before, you'll be able to take part.

Will it be okay if I don't know anyone?

Yes. You'll be added to the WhatsApp group a few weeks before the retreat so you can introduce yourself and get to know the other women who'll be joining you on the day.

What sort of thing will we be doing?

Gillian and Astra will take you through a journey of the Sacred Senses: six experiential portals to reconnect you with your deepest self and create your Authentic Soul Manifesto™. This will include movement, sound, journalling, discussion and visualisation.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, of course. You can either book separately (share this webpage with them) or you can book together. If you do this, you'll get an email asking for your friend's details including name and phone number.

What if something comes up and I can't make it any more?

It's easy to let everyone else's needs overtake your own - if this retreat calls to you, it's essential you protect that time now and make sure it's booked out in your calendar. However, sometimes life happens and things come up last minute. If this happens, please get in touch with one of the facilitators via WhatsApp to discuss your options.

How many people will be there?

It will be a small group of like-minded souls on the same journey as you, with no more than 20 women.

Is it easy to get to the venue?

Yes! It's two minutes walk from an accessible Underground station in North London, approximately 30 minutes travel from King's Cross. Once you've signed up you'll receive details of the exact location and how to get there from the facilitators.

I'm vegetarian/vegan/gluten free  - is that okay?

Yes - the refreshments and lunch will be selected for everyone to enjoy with a specific focus on vegetarian and gluten-free options.
