What’s been happening?

 

As I missed out on the Creativity Workshop in Barcelona I decided to enroll in a creative writing e-course. Wow! My respect and admiration for writers has increased fourfold. This course was an ecourse, run by Elizabeth Bezant, Writer, and Writing Coach.  I recommend it if you are interested in “having a go” at writing.  Warning! You may find your work being published! www.writingtoinspire.com

 

My daughter, Nicki has completed her first year at UWA, studying Exercise and Health Science. She has got her P Plates, Year! And I have suddenly got several extra hours per week, as she is now driving herself to Karate, Indoor soccer etc etc.

 

My son, Martin, has joined the Army Reserve, and has returned from “boot camp” in Kapooka.  I think he is finding the thought of returning to ECU in Feb a little dull in comparison.

 

My clients continue to impress me with their achievements and happiness levels. A client who came to me to work on Career Transition now tells me he has the perfect job. No, he hasn’t changed jobs, but has changed the way he is.

 

Our Getaway in October was a great success.  As always we attracted a lovely group of participants, and it brings me joy to see the way a group of strangers become so close over the weekend. We were joined by Elizabeth Bezant, writer and Writing Coach. We are planning to run a joint getaway in March, see events calendar for details

 

The Tuesday morning Yoga classes at Mount Claremont continue and in February I will also be running a class on a Thursday afternoon at 4pm. My friend and fellow yoga teacher, Sahaja (Camille), will be running Kids Yoga in the room next door, so this will be a chance for the Mums, Dads, or carers to enjoy yoga while the youngsters are looked after. Sahaja can be contacted on cami.sahaja@gmail.com  I have been running Yoga classes twice a week at Scotch College, for the staff, and these will continue in the new school year.

I love running these workshops and feedback has always been positive. Over the years I have come to realise that I do not enjoy coordinating people’s availability and venue availability. So, Here’s the plan….

 

If you organise a group (minimum of 4 people, maximum of 8 people) and a venue, then we can run the workshop for your group at a total cost of $300 ($100 for the Dream Book workshop). The cost per person works out to between $37.50 and $75.

 

Thanks for Reading!
