Maximum group size:
10 women
Anima: soul; life; feminine principle.
We invite you to step back from the work-face one afternoon a month and join us at Anima.
Anima is a refuge from the world of busy-busy, do-do, click-send-repeat. Anima is a place of possibility, exploration and nurture.
This is a calm, dedicated, confidential group-space for working women. Here you can share in confidence with women like you and reflect more deeply about your work-life, gain skills to address everyday challenges and build your future.
We welcome working women from all sectors. You may be leading, coaching, self-employed, running a small business or working in a large corporate, part of an institution or building a start-up. All of you are leading your lives – and this makes you leaders. What kind of leader do you want to be?…
Is this you?
- Suffering hamster-wheel syndrome?
- Fed up with swimming upstream everyday?
- Tired of fighting one battle after another?
- 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
- Get supportive, smart feedback on your blocks and challenges
- Find companions on your journey
- Develop more ease and flow in your working life
Women who participate in our 8 session/9 month Anima programme find themselves, gradually or suddenly, making those decisions they’d been putting off, finalising and advancing projects that had been mouldering in the drawer, building a work-home balance that suits them, and standing up for what they want and what’s right…
Our groups are small (max. 10 participants), diverse, inter-generational, cross-sectoral (business, professional, social impact, creative and more).
You will benefit from the encouragement of a group of accomplished women who’ve ‘got your back’, plus expert input from Hetty and Liz.
Make the change…
From isolation to community
Remote working, self employment or seniority can make it hard to build close, trusting relationships with work colleagues.
We can be left feeling isolated and professionally lonely. Being in an ongoing small group builds collegiate trust and a warm environment to grow ideas, address sticky challenges and explore your next step in confidence.
From “busy-busy” to focus on what really matters
Too often the important things in life and work get pushed out by the endless ‘to-do’ lists, and we ignore our own needs to serve those of others.
A dedicated small group space helps you re-centre and be more focussed with your time and energy. It reminds you that you matter too, and that burning out serves no one.
From overwhelm to resilience
‘Self care’ has become a cliche. We’re not talking spas or yoga retreats. Instead we share tools and practices to keep you on an even keel in all aspects of your life and build your resilience.
Anima’s regular small-group space will give you clearer perception, build head-heart-gut alignment, and provide support for your challenges and ambitions – leading to greater clarity on your next step.
Join us to experience…
- Structured thinking space to explore and prioritise the deeper themes of your work and life
- Easy but powerful body practices to navigate stress, keep your cool and sharpen your thinking
- Greenhousing 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.
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:
- powerful embodiment techniques based on Chi Kung, aikido 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 inquiry in dialogue
