Make it happen!

48 women enjoyed the ‘Power of Purpose’ workshops yesterday to get an idea about our offer for personal growth and development.

Our ‘Make it happen!’ programme will be launched on 19 April 2011 and it is all about living your fullest life by realising your purpose, getting connected and creating flow in your life!

We have a special offer for women who are interested in joining this course:

Please click on the ‘Make it happen!’ tab above if you want to know more!

The Power of Purpose Workshop

We’re running a workshop for QPWN!
It’s time to get out there and create the kind of life you’ve always wanted to have.
It’s time to take control of your life, to make conscious choices and to get concrete results.
It’s time to discover your passion, share it with like-minded women and live your fullest life.
No matter what kind of success you are looking to create, the three essential elements are purpose, connection and flow. In this workshop you take first steps to connecting to your purpose, becoming clearer on what it might be and how you want to carry it out into the world.
This workshop will be a ‘taster’ for our Make it happen! programme (see tab above). So if you’re interested, here’s your chance to try us out!
So come along to VCU on Wed, 6 April, 10 a.m. or 6 p.m.
Once again it will be 50 QR per person only. Please RSVP to mail@arcata.cc.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Carolin & Co.

Your HWW Team

New year, new luck

How about making 2011 the year that you wanted 2010 to be?

Or better still?

It’s time to ditch the self-help books and look inside, see what amazing strengths and resources you have already, how your wide and varied experience can be turned into wisdom and guidance for the future and to really get empowered to make
that difference and have more joy in your life.

How about improving things for yourself and/or for your team at the office?

How about a ‘boost’ for your enthusiasm to start the year off on a high note?

Or how about making an action plan for sustainable self-improvement?

Sound good?

Just give us a call on +974 66 88 75 72 or drop us a mail on mail@arcata.cc to sort out the details.

Happy end of the year. Enjoy the transition. Have a great start to 2011.

And please feel free to share your resolutions in the comments below – it might give you that extra bit of motivation to go through with them ;-)

We’ll see you soon.

Retreat with coaching and yoga

Dear Ladies,

Here is more information on the upcoming Summer Retreat.

The Retreat will be at Sealine Beach Resort from Thu, 26 Aug, 4 p.m. to Sat 28 Aug, 4 p.m.

The theme of this woman-only retreat is ‘Making a difference’. Whether you want to make a difference in your life, in your job, in your family or in the world, we will inspire and encourage you to identify and define what kind of difference you want to make, empower you to start communicating and implementing your plans and finally found a generative community amongst us.

We will work with the Arcata Coaching Method, which is highly interactive and expressive. We will have you up and out of your seats quite a bit, while at the same time providing a structure with a series of worksheets that serve as a ‘journal of the journey’ and will enable you to reconstruct at any time the steps we took. As always with the Arcata Coaching Method, we empower you to continue your self-improvement after the workshop by teaching you some of the tools we use.

Supporting us on this journey is Claire, a teacher in yoga and restorative yoga, a black belt in karate and a teacher-trainee in budokon. (more…)

Here are some pictures from the HWW Social at Yama Yoga Studio on 10 June. We had a great time. We all got the chance to meet new people and to reconnect to those we had met before. A colourful and interesting array of women – and one or two men – from all walks of life.

Thanks to everyone who came and turned it into a fun event.

And thanks to Jess, Annene, Ghizlane, Carl and Vijita for helping out.

And finally: Thanks to Valerie from Yama Yoga and the European Family Club for having us. We really enjoyed the venue.
