Programme
You’re a grown ass woman so how you choose to manage your time over the weekend or day is ultimately up to you. If you want to sleep in, stay in your pyjamas, drink coffee and chain smoke while taking in the view all day, then that’s cool with me. Except maybe don’t chain smoke ALL day.
My job is to keep good on my promise of an empowering, awakening and strengthening weekend with the programme below.
Disclaimer: the programme is subject to change.

The catering on Friday night will be a grazing table and nibbles situation - so make sure you have a hearty lunch before you come. You’ll be able to give an indication of dietary requirements on the booking form.
This evening is intended to be a really relaxed with some guided connection activities to start to lift the lid on getting to know each other and building trust.
I feel a cliff scream coming on, don’t you?
