THE THREE-DAY ADVANCED WORKSHOP
UNCOVER, RECOVER, DISCOVER
THIS IS THE ADVANCED THREE-DAY WORKSHOP WHERE THERE IS DEEPER EXPLORATION AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCING T0 BECOME YOUR BEST YOU AND LET GO OF WHAT HOLDS YOU BACK.
Here, within the intimate, safe and beautiful space of The Norfolk Farmhouse, you become part of an empowering Circle of Women, in a space of kindness, compassion and empathy. It is one where deep healing takes place. And it is just for eight of you. You will learn more about yourself than you have ever learned before, and will gain 'life tools' that will deepen and expand your self-awareness, empowering you to become the Woman you were always meant to be, and one where you will begin to perceive yourself others and your world very differently. It is 'Transformation' on a deeper level.
With such deep healing and reconnection of the self you are ready to step into the Future ‘You’. This is Discovery, this is where you find Your 'Warrior Woman' and where you consciously decide what you take with you into your future and what you let go of. It is about endings and new beginnings, letting go of what has held you back as you move into your future and the person you choose to be. On this day you connect to deeper, higher parts of your consciousness. Here is where you become whole.
Your Journey begins with ‘Uncover’; the uncovering of who you are today and how you function in your world. This is where the process begins, from the very first exercise, where you are asked to describe yourself. This is where you realise the qualities and strengths you hold. But it is also where you uncover what you: your Inner Child, Your Inner Adolescent and Your Inner Historical Adult, have believed about themselves and carried throughout their lives, and what you- your 'Present Adult' self thinks about them.
On the second day, as you learn more about yourself, we move to ‘Recover’, where in a space of empathy, compassion, support and much kindness, you begin to heal. This is where your Child, Adolescent and your Historical Adult finds their voice and where with understanding, forgiveness, and love, you reconnect with all of you. Visualisation exercises make this process profound.
A Testimonial to Women Who Thrive
Today I am a new woman. I refuse to be a victim anymore. I am no longer afraid and I have power. I have a voice. I have been seen and heard. My voice matters. I've been taken seriously. I am a mother, I am a fiancé, I am a sister, I am a friend, I am a powerful woman, I am my mother's daughter. She is my guardian angel. I am resilient and I have an incredible lifeforce and energy within me.
I've learned how to set my boundaries and protect my inner child. I know how to set boundaries and I can put myself in my bubble to keep myself and others safe when threatened. I am proud of myself. I believe in myself. I've learned strategies to cope and to thrive. I feel empowered. I am in touch with my adolescent, my observer, my inner mentor, my warrior and my inner goddess.
I am strong, I am confident, I am worthy, I am creative, I am spiritual, I am brave, I am gentle, I am an explorer, I am talented, I am clever, I am inquisitive, I am caring, I am sharing, I am I am giving and forgiving. I am loved.
I slam shut the door of negative voices internal and external, any intrusive thoughts, self-criticism, those who scold, those who criticise and judge, who misunderstand. These have been holding me back from being who I have the potential to be. I go forth with grace and confidence, self-belief and self-worth to live how want to live. stay stop to anything that interferes with my inner peace and causes stress and anxiety. I have more control in every area of my life. I will treat myself with the same kindness and compassion as I do others.
I'd recommend this course for any woman who wants to find herself, her real self, to realise her qualities and strengths. This has been an incredible journey. There has been laughter, there have been tears and firm friendships made. The Women Who Thrive workshop has given me the tools to Become the best version of myself and nothing can hold me back.

A Testimonial for Gnosh Catering
"The Women who Thrive retreats are a luxury experience where you are truly spoiled and looked after. Not only do you work on your mind, body and soul within a circle of incredible women, but you can enjoy fine dining by the incredibly talented chef David and his partner Kevin who run @gnoshcatering.
These wonderful gents catered exclusively for the @womenwhothrive resort weekend in March. Kevin is a former West End actor and David had another profession before becoming a chef. Both have been in hospitality for over 20 years and they really went the extra mile to provide top notch catering. They served breakfast, lunch and dinner with laughter. They became part of our family during the retreat. You might recognise them from @fourinabed which they won and if vou're ever in the area visit their restaurant @easytigerbeccles. Their wicked sense of humour and banter as well as their professionalism and talent made this a truly amazing experience. We were nourished and fed well. There were banquets of food. My fav was the Asian fusion, and the most incredible beef randang which was slow cooked for three davs and melted in the mouth. The masonan curry was also delicious.
Other highlights were the, fresh salmon and poached eggs for breakfast, delicious pastries, sumptuous sandwiches and quiches, roast grouse and even a delicious chicken Sunday roast. We had the most incredible desserts too from cheesecake to mango sorbet and fresh cakes. Indulging in fine dining within a comfortable cottage was a wonderful experience and enhanced the restart and the healing experience overall."
