<h2>Writing Clear Business Communication: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>This program is about learning about the writing process and covers the full spectrum of documents used when corresponding in the workplace. The ability to write effectively comes naturally to some people, but for the vast majority, it is a task often approached with a mixture of trepidation and dread.</p>
 <p>Effective writing seldom, if ever, 'magically materializes' on the spot. In reality, it is most often the product of planning, writing, and rewriting. This is why writing is called a process; it must go through a series of steps before it is clear and complete.</p>

<h2><strong>About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)</strong></h2>
<p><span>This 5 half-day Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course will assist energy professionals in the planning and operation of a power system from renewable energy sources. The VILT course will discuss key operating requirements for an integrated, reliable and stable power system.</span></p>
<p><span>The unique characteristics of renewable energy are discussed from a local, consumer centric and system perspective, bringing to life the ever-changing paradigm in delivering energy to customers. The course will explore the technical challenges associated with interconnecting and integrating hundreds of gigawatts of solar power onto the electricity grid in a safe and reliable way.</span></p>
<p><span>With references to international case studies, the VILT course will also demonstrate the state of the art methodologies used in forecasting solar power. The flexibility of the invertor-based resources will facilitate higher penetrations of photovoltaic, battery electricity storage systems and demand response while co-optimizing customer resources. The contribution of inverter-based generators that provides voltage support, frequency response and regulation (droop response), reactive power and power quality with a high level of accuracy and fast response will be addressed.</span></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, this VILT course will also describe how microgrids' controllers can allow for a fully automated energy management. Distributed energy resources are analyzed in detail from a technical and financial aspect and will address the best known cost based methodologies such as project financing and cost recovery.</span></p>

Introduction to Mindful Photography with Rebecca, founder of Mindful Photography UK.

Join us on Mon Sep 23 2024 at 18:30 GMT for a unique experience that combines mindfulness and photography. We deliberately keep our sessions limited to small numbers so that we all have a chance to talk to each other and have interactive discussion.

In this online session, Rebecca will guide you through the art of capturing moments with intention and awareness. Learn how to slow down, observe your surroundings, and create beautiful images that reflect your thoughts and feelings. No prior experience required, just bring your camera or smartphone and an open mind.

Don't miss this opportunity to explore the world through a new lens!

Here is some feedback from a recent session we ran this springtime. I think you will agree these are big changes and we are so proud to be part of them!

I felt the session was really inclusive.
I feel more mindful and in the present moment.
The process is transferable and “you can do it anywhere”.
I feel my wellbeing is supported, and I feel more in control.
I understand myself better, I accept myself.
It supports my creativity and self-expression which I hadn’t always fully acknowledged.
I realise I had a fear of making mistakes, but by being in a group I feel so supported.
I feel more physically active.
I feel more self-aware and have increased my self-knowledge.
I feel more empowered to do things and make changes in my life and in my community.






Frequently asked questions
What is your refund policy?
We can accept cancellations up until 48 hours before we begin. We regret, as we are a small CIC, that we cannot take cancellations via email but ask that you log into Eventbrite to cancel your ticket should it be necessary.
Do I need any special equipment?
No, you need something to take a photograph on, a valid email address and a strong internet connection so that we can communicate over zoom. You would benefit from downloading an app called www.padlet.com to your device but this is not essential. The extension project is entirely optional.
What happens after the week long project is finished?
You will be invited into a community project or if you live in North Yorkshire you might like to book a 1:1 session with me. Personalised sessions start at £49:99 per person.
Do I have to be a photographer?
Absolutely not, we assume no prior experience of photography.
Is this like therapy?
We are not therapists but the process has a gentle and calming effect upon your wellbeing. We will be engaging in simple tasks to encourage mindfulness. We do ask that you are well and happy to engage in a small group session online. We embody respect in our work and we ask that you do the same.
Will you be using my images?
We never share your images unless you specifically ask for us to. Your image and copyright remains your own.
Can I share your lesson content?
We are a community interest company called Mindful Photography UK CIC and all images, wording, content, intellectual property are trademarked and copyrighted by Mindful Photography UK 2024. We ask that you respect our livelihood and do not share our lessons and content.

Welcome! And thank you for being curious about The Goddess Hour. If you are searching for connection, this could be for you. Each event is different and is filled with Love and Laughter.
I am given a theme for the evening, usually on the day of the event itself and this then becomes our focus for the session, as we follow the guidance and teachings that arise through spoken word, meditation and sharing.
They are beautiful spontaneous affairs that are always different and sometimes surprising! Most importantly they foster a great sense of connection within and without and everyone feels empowered and inspired through attending.
I was guided by the great Goddess Isis to run the first of these events back in May of 2023 and they have been taking place ever since, on the last Wednesday of the month.
They really are special events. Come to one or come to many! There are no rules. If you would welcome the opportunity to connect with other like-minded women, then maybe this is for you...
A sacred hour just for you, to feel held, nurtured and cherished. Oh and I always pull everyone a Goddess Card at the end of the session. Some beautiful individual guidance from the Goddesses themselves...
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or take the plunge and come along to the next one. The only way you will discover if it's for you, like anything in life, is to take part...! And this year, more than ever, feels like it's time that we do things that we have never done before...
