Living well as we get older can be a challenge. Loneliness, boredom and feelings of regret can be disabling or restricting. At a time when we need to feel alive, often our ageing bodies can restrict what we are capable of. But there are always things you can do to improve things for yourself.
Penny will provide….reflection time. There is flexibility around the times we explore according to the group needs.
In the afternoons, there will be one workshop offered plus the opportunity for you to spend time as you wish. Enjoy the beautiful space…. quality ‘you’ time.
This retreat will Help You:
• Rediscover Your True Self: Focus on what you want most of your life.
• Restore Your Balance: Replenish your wellbeing.
• Deepen Self-Understanding: Gain clarity about your desires, needs, and aspirations.

About the Facilitator
Her journey though life has taken twists and turns that have been challenging, interesting and brought her lots of enjoyment. Travelling for 4 years whilst she decided what she should do with her life broadened her horizons. Working in social care as a social worker and latterly a dementia trainer has increased her awareness of the trials and tribulations facing many people as well as developing her creativeness and problem-solving skills. Becoming a grandma has certainly given her much more fun that she’d ever have imagined. Working in adult career guidance made her think about the challenges faced when thinking about what’s important in life and how we have to balance where our hearts want to lead us and what is actually possible in our situations.
All of this and more has led penny to run workshops about thinking about how we make the most of our later life.
