A transformational day retreat for people who are ready to stop shrinking, stop apologising, and start living as the fullest version of themselves.

How often do you hold yourself back so other people feel comfortable?

Softening your opinions. Saying yes when you mean no. Toning yourself down so you don't seem "too much". Over time, all that holding back takes its toll, and you lose touch with who you really are.

Unapologetically You is a full day retreat to help you let go of the need for approval, reconnect with what you truly want, and step into the long days of summer feeling free, bold and fully yourself.

This is not a workshop. It is not a course. It is a day created entirely for you.

What the day includes:

- Intention setting to open the day

- Morning: Paul works with your conscious mind, using movement-based NLP

- Afternoon: Maddie works with your subconscious mind, guiding you into deep relaxation with hypnotherapy

- A one-hour session from a guest practitioner

- A closing fire ceremony to release what no longer serves you and set your intentions for what comes next

- Lunch, dinner and refreshments throughout the day (all vegetarian or vegan)

All held at The Vedanta, a Grade II listed Elizabethan estate set in 75 acres of Lincolnshire countryside, just ten minutes from Lincoln station.

This day is for you if:

- You often put other people's needs ahead of your own

- You hold back parts of yourself to fit in or keep the peace

- You find it hard to say no without feeling guilty

- You're ready to take up space and live life on your own terms
