Strictly women only! We all know the story of Eve in the Garden of Eden. Celebrate the uniqueness of women in these workshops which explore the issues for women in today's modern world. Women today have several roles in life, and often end up becoming one – a juggler in life’s circus. This course consists of a series of workshops which look at each role and where it fits within the life circle and stages of womanhood. Conflicts in managing the ‘traditional’ versus the ‘modern’ often leave women confused with a ‘lost’ identity’. Managing a career, relationships, family life, pregnancy, the ‘empty nest’, and menopause all create stress and life changes that in many ways are still unique to women. Society’s expectations on women can often leave us feeling lost, guilty, ashamed, inadequate, and unsuccessful.
If any of these sound familiar and you feel you would like to join us on a discovery of enlightenment, and empowerment wherever you are at in the life cycle, then this course is for you. Make new friends and take time out for yourself. For more details contact Jackie by e-mail: info@laplatriere.co.uk or telephone: 00 33 (0) 470679426
