I went on my first ever retreat and it was a Louise Hay "You cal heal your life" course at Wortley Hall, Sheffield. Although I already know quite bit about affirmation work, I was energized by the course and its attentive and kind facilitator. Mastery through repetition! The only reason why I only rate the course good has to do with the fact that Wortley Hall was having 4 weddings taking place during this August bankholiday weekend which led to some disturbance of some of the participants´peace and quiet in their room. There was also a little confusion as to where we should eat in Wortley Hall. The food was very good. Having said that, Wortley Hall is an interesting place to visit. It is a former manor house which has been converted into a multipurpose institution for workers by the mining unions some time last century. The gardens are lovely and were a great place to wander a little while digesting the emotions that this course will inevitably provoke in any participant.
