“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Aristotle
“This was a fun and fulfilling exploration. The day was an amazing opportunity to have greater understanding of others, through learning of Enneagram personality types. I will use my new awareness of my Enneagram personality type as a gauge for growth opportunities.
I enjoyed Louise’s facilitation, which was very professional, fun and playful. With her wisdom and presence, she held a beautiful place for us to explore.”
Ben Jennings, 'Explore Yourself & Free Yourself' 2022 attendee
THE EXPERIENCE:
A One day Retreat Journey woven with Enneagram experiential workshops, Dance Medicine, developmental coaching, facilitated conversation, meditation, pranayama, nature immersion and relaxation.
Begin your journey to Freedom on this one day reflective and awakening retreat to explore yourself and free yourself using the wisdom of the Enneagram.
The Enneagram is a map of human nature experienced through nine distinct personality types that describe how we think, feel, act and how we stand in relation with the world and others.
“I'd describe the Enneagram one day as a world of discovery that is beneficial to personal growth and expansion. I'm taking away from today an expanded awareness and greater understanding of self.
I now have a new navigation tool for relating and a real opportunity for self-acceptance. The venue was amazing and I absolutely loved Louise's facilitation style.”
Cine Holland 'Explore Yourself & Free Yourself' 2022 attendee
"Life changing - is how I would describe the One Day Enneagram Retreat 'Explore yourself & Free yourself. I've doubted myself for a long time and this is the start of a new me and a new understanding of myself. I now have CLARITY on who, what, why I am who I am. I also feel COURAGEOUS and speaking up in the group gave me confidence."
Con Mitsou 'Explore Yourself & Free Yourself' 2019 attendee

The day retreat showed me how to see these qualities in others and how to communicate with others effectively.

"Louise is very intuitive coach and a fantastic listener. I felt nurtured and encouraged the entire program. I am now calmer, softer, at ease. & enjoying life more. I'm very conscious of my thoughts and now able to change them. I've let go the need to control & have certainty. I'm so much more relaxed & have found great joy in going with the flow of life. I now know that I'm the author of my reality. I choose how I feel and what I do. Everything is a choice. This has been a very liberating realisation. .” Brooke Duncan
"Coaching with Louise was Phenomenal!!! I cannot emphasise that enough. Louise made me feel safe & pushed me to look at myself in ways that I was resistant to. She made me “sit in my stuff” and get comfortable in doing so. When I started the coaching journey, I was closed off, sad and negative. I now feel confident with who I am, & no longer feel the need to put on a mask." Michayla Simpson
"After hiring Louise as my coach I am calmer, softer and more at ease. I’m enjoying life and not taking it so seriously. I have let go of the need to control and have certainty. I am so much more relaxed and have found great joy in going with the flow of life. Louise is very intuitive and a fantastic listener. I felt nurtured and encouraged the entire program.”Brooke Duncan“Meditation and yoga with Louise is simply wonderful! Following the class I felt incredible, so balanced, calm and full of bliss. I love Louise’s voice which is so calming!"Carly Grace
