We have all anguished about this recurring problem, but without having the skills or knowledge to take action, we are unable to break the cycle!</p>
 <p>The goal of this course is for you to be able to support business objectives and meet client expectations by selecting the right planning approach for realistic and cost effective schedules, as well as project budgets. To achieve that, you will focus on gaining the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
 <p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Use the work breakdown structure (WBS) as the basis for effective estimating of project resources</li>

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted.
I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved. 
We will meditate with scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit.
We will sit with Love.
I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness.
 Two hours, on Zoom.
"Come away with me to a quiet place"

The sessions will be shaped around the following themes this year:
October: Teresa of Avila
November: Letting Go
December: Advent / Expectant Hope
January: The Gifts of Winter Darkness
February: Love
March: Lent
April: No Session
May: Resurrection / Spring
June: TBC

July: The Gifts of Summer

August: No Session


You are invited to participate from the comfort of your own home. Ideally you'll be able to find a little space where you won't be interrupted. You might wish to ask those you share space with to help you protect this time by respecting your privacy.
All who sign up will be sent a link to the recording of the retreat which will remain live until the following session. If you would like to participate via recording, simply register for the event. It would be great if you could let me know that you won't be with us in real time.

Past Participants are Saying:
