Maximum group size:

Anima: soul; life; feminine principle.

We invite you to step back from the workface and join us at Anima.

Anima is a calm, dedicated, confidential group-space for working women. Here you can share confidentially with like-minded women, reflect more deeply about your work-life, gain skills to address everyday challenges and build your future.

Our groups are small, diverse, inter-generational and cross-sectoral. Whether you are leading a team, coaching, self-employed, running a small business or working in a large corporate – you are welcome.

 

Is this you?
  • Suffering hamster-wheel syndrome?
  • Fed up with swimming upstream every day?
  • Feeling stuck or wondering what next?
  • In need of a space to take a breath, brainstorm a creative idea, or just think?!

 

What if you could…
  • Drop the professional mask and be yourself
  • Slow down and reflect deeply with others
  • Receive supportive, insightful feedback on your blocks and challenges
  • Find companions on your journey
  • Develop more ease and flow in your working life

 

Women who participate in the group find themselves making those decisions they’d been putting off, progressing projects that had been mouldering in a drawer, building a work-home balance that suits them, and standing up for what they want…

You will benefit from the encouragement of a group of accomplished women who’ve ‘got your back’, plus expert input from Hetty and Liz.

Belonging to this inspiring community of women gave me the nudge to kickstart a creative project that I’ve been mulling for years.
Dr Gill Stevens
Founding Director, Level Seven, Coaching Consultancy
Anima is the ultimate “safe space” – providing an opportunity to exhale and allow my thoughts to percolate without pressure to make quick decisions.

The structure and rhythm of the sessions created an anchor point in my personal and professional life when I was going through significant change.
Sheila Bates
International HR Consultant and Mediator
When I joined Anima I was going through a period of change and uncertainty. I was inspired by the ideas we explored together to really listen to my instincts, and was able to reflect and explore important decisions within the warmth and support of the community.
Emma Ramsay
Partner, Ramsay Paterson LLP

Make the change…

From isolation to community

Remote working, self-employment or seniority can leave us feeling isolated and professionally lonely.

Participating in a small group builds collegiate trust and a warm environment to grow ideas, address challenges and explore your next step.

From “busy-busy” to focus on what really matters

Too often the important things in life get pushed out by endless ‘to-do’ lists, and we ignore our own needs to prioritise others’.

A dedicated small group space helps you re-centre and focus your time and energy.

From overwhelm to resilience

The pace and volume of work today can feel overwhelming.

We share tools and practices to help you regulate your nervous system, stay calm in the eye of the storm and build your resilience.

Join us to experience…

  • Structured thinking space to explore and prioritise the deeper themes of your work and life
  • Simple yet powerful body practices to navigate stress, keep your cool and sharpen your thinking
  • “Green-housing” space and support to explore new ideas and projects
  • Insightful feedback from experienced peers
  • Belonging to a community of like-minded (and like-hearted) women
  • Deeper understanding of how to stay resilient and build this into your daily routine

Our holistic approach…

As women we thrive when we pay attention to our body, our imagination and the rhythms and cycles of the natural world. Clear thinking flows from a grounding in these roots and relationships.

Anima groups emphasise a Head-Heart-Gut approach to life and work, as an antidote to the overthinking and urgent productivity of the digital age.

We will share with you:

  • Simple yet powerful mind-body practices based on Chi Kung, aikido, Leadership Embodiment and breath work
  • The Celtic Calendar as a blueprint for using your energy wisely with ‘minimum effort – maximum efficiency’
  • Insight Dialogue – a mindfulness methodology for deep reflection in dialogue
