The Woman Within weekend is an experience as unique as you are...
"It was an amazing weekend. I found being in the company of women so nurturing and powerful. I experienced every emotion possible, did things I never would have dreamt I could and I'm so proud of what I achieved. I feel things have definitely shifted for me. I drove past my father today (who I never see) and I laughed instead of crying, for the first time. And, I took myself to lunch and just sat and enjoyed my own company - normally I'd be too self-conscious. Thank you for helping me to reclaim the part of me I needed to do those things. I feel truly blessed to have found Woman Within and to have met you all." Sarah Lowe (and bump) - June 2010
"When I left on Friday, it was raining... yesterday the sun was shining!
When I left on Friday, all the roses in my garden had not opened... when I arrived home, the roses had wonderful blossoms!
I realise that in the last month, I never laughed as much as I have in the last 24 hours! I feel a deep, deep peace, and love for my parents.
My daughter said: "Mummy, you are so lighthearted and happy! There must be something that happened to you in England - you are so changed!" I have never had such a great experience as this weekend before. I’m deeply grateful for your help on my way to being a free and peaceful woman."

“At a certain time in my life I had a sense that I was stuck, something was missing and I wasn’t complete. I went on the Woman Within weekend, and it really helped me. In fact it was a life changer. It was fantastic, and I wish I’d known about it years before. I have a great circle of women friends I call upon for advice and support, when I have the kind of problem that only a woman friend would understand.”
"The Woman Within weekend is a unique opportunity to leave behind all your roles as mother, daughter, sister, friend, auntie, worker, organiser, lover - forget the clock, and just be you! It is an emotional weekend - I cried buckets but felt completely different afterwards. All the work is done inside yourself and although there is a large staff present, it is not one to one work. It comes from within. When I am being more light hearted I often liken it to the great scene in the movie City Slickers when Billy Crystal is riding with the old wizened ‘elder’ cowboy and asks him what the meaning of life is. The cowboy holds up his little finger, and Billy Crystal looks puzzled. ‘What’s that?’ The elder replies ‘It is whatever it is for you!’”
“You get to work on what you want to at this moment of your life, and your pace and how deep you want to go (or not!) are really respected. There’s something really healing in the fact that it’s just women together and that you witness some of the work others do as well."
“The weekend helped me know myself better, to leave burdens behind, to share my thoughts with total confidentiality, to improve my relationships with my family and with other women, men and children, to be more sincere and effective in 'making a difference', and to know joy and deep fulfilment.”
“It was so well orchestrated, everything ran like clockwork. All the other therapies and counselling I’ve done throughout my life combined don’t total an ounce of what I got from the weekend! It truly is priceless.”
“The Woman Within weekend is an opportunity to spend time with yourself, maybe for the first time ever. Doing the weekend has really helped me to begin to understand human behaviour and is useful in my business world as well as in my private life.”
“For me, doing the weekend was like a homecoming - it was the right time for me. You will be looked after and well taken care of; the staff know what they are doing. Trust the process and remember that you are there for you. You will know when it’s right time for you. The weekend starts once you book to go on it, make it a gift for yourself.”

Before this weekend I was guided by my dead fathers strength and courage...
now I have my own.
Before this weekend I lived life from the outside...
now I am within.
Before this weekend I had resolved most of my issues intellectually...
now I can resolve them emotionally
Before this weekend my favourite Bette Midler track was "from a distance"...
Before this weekend large parts of me were stuck in adolescence...
now I can begin to move those parts into womanhood.
Before this weekend the future was blurred and grey...
now it is pink and I have clarity.
Before this weekend I had never looked anyone in the eye...
now I can see deep within others.
Before this weekend I could only empathise with my own experience...
now I can empathise with my feeling.
Before this weekend I felt I could connect better with men than with women...
now I know different.
Before this weekend I couldn't allow myself to go to bed until I knew I would fall asleep within 5 minutes. I showered and rarely bathed...
now I can allow myself time to be with myself.
Before this weekend I never felt as if I belonged anywhere...
now I am a part of a web.
Before this weekend I thought the friend who encouraged me to do the Woman Within Training was slightly crazy...
now I know that she is enlightened.
And I am humbled.
I am probably somewhere in the middle of my journey but I could not have travelled so far and been in a position to complete it without Woman Within. There is still a lot to come and integrating all this into my world is an enormous leap.
But I will.
