About the Event

During the COVID-19 pandemic you may have experienced challenging living and working conditions which might leave you feeling uncertain, disorientated perhaps even a bit lost. These pressures and for some, just slowing down and having time to notice and reflect on your life, may be prompting some big questions: 'Do I want to continue leading my life this way?", "Is this really the work I want to do? "What would really make me fulfilled and happy?" "What's the right thing to do?". You might be considering what you want from this 'new normal', what will bring greater meaning and fulfilment in your life?

Going on a retreat is an opportunity to ground ourselves in our true identity, to re discover our true self. It is from this place, our "inner compass", that we are best placed to make decisions and choices about the big things in our lives: work, relationships, love and leadership.

The retreat process is twofold. The first part is an inner journey exploring what your life experiences have taught you about who you are. The second stage is an outer journey. An exploration of how you can be the best expression of your true self going forward.

In pre-COVID times you might have gone away to a retreat house to explore these questions. With "Re- Discovering your best self" online you can go on a powerful, reinvigorating retreat journey with up to six other companions facing similar challenges, guided by two experienced retreat facilitators, over the course of six days, in the comfort of your own home.

The "Re-Discovering your Best Self" Stay at Home retreat is for anyone who is:

• Bored, stuck in a rut, not knowing what they want
  
• Going through a major life transition: finding work, retirement, divorce, bereavement
  
• Faced with big opportunities but uncertain as to how to proceed
  
• Facing a life dilemma, they're struggling with
  
• Feeling like they are only just getting through each day, surviving life
  
• Studying, working, or out of work
  

Style and approach

Retreat facilitators Cathy Brown and Mike Mullins have a supportive, empathic style and will create a safe, intimate space where everyone is given an opportunity to share and be heard without judgement. The retreat will run over the course of six days with a minimum of two and a maximum of six retreatants. Retreat sessions will be face-to-face on Zoom for 1.5 - 2 hours per session, focused on a pattern of guided personal reflection and small group sharing and discussion. Retreatants will be invited to complete personal reflective activities between each session. The six-day flow looks like this:

Day 1 - Introductions and motivations
Day 2 - How did I get here?
Day 3 - What do I want?
Day 4 - Change and transition
Day 5 - Who am I at my best?
