Our
Beautiful Women course has just come to an end for the third time. Once again it was an honour to share the
journey with a group of women who were brave enough to open up and let others
truly see them. I cannot put into words how
incredibly powerful it is to be alongside a group of women as they bond and
share stories; stories so deep and meaningful that they often bring you close
to tears. I’m happy to say that the
group have formed friendships that will hopefully continue into the future and
it is wonderful to see them in the centre together, getting involved in
Chinwaggers, volunteering and catching up!
The
ladies kindly wrote a few words about their experience of the course for us to
share with you, so here they are:
“Doing the Beautiful Women
course has been fantastic, making new friends, sharing stories, which is a big
honour. My time spent getting to know
new people have been the best. I have
learnt a lot about myself and a lot about how society is about women, even
though I knew that mostly, I now know there is a lot more to it.
The
course has given me the confidence to be JUST
ME.”
“I
feel that Beautiful Women has given me the confidence to be who I am and that I
don’t need to change for anyone. Beautiful
Women has also given me the ability to open up to others as it made me feel
safe.”

It
has been a great journey almost as if I was discovering myself and friends all
over again. It was challenging in parts
both personally and as a group but we all helped and supported each other
through it.
Friendships
developed and flourished and I’ll be forever grateful for that.
Everyone
needs to remember that you are enough.
Thank
you to all the women that allowed me to share this experience with them – it
was a privilege.
