Following a challenging business experience earlier this year, I found myself having to get ready to rise again. The episode brought me significant pain, yet I realised staying fixated on it without healing would leave me immobile, disconnected from the future vision I'd put aside while distracted by another's dream.

In the past, admitting business missteps used to bring me shame, but honestly, we must embrace the lessons we're meant to learn—reflect on the positive, indulge in gratitude, and celebrate our successes, despite the lack of integrity of others.

The Valley:

Solitude is often stigmatised in our hyper-connected society, where it's mistaken for loneliness. But solitude is indispensable for self-discovery and personal growth, helping us tune out daily noise and reconnect with ourselves. Hence, I've spent considerable time alone, in nature, to clearly hear my thoughts and deeply understand my emotions. It's given me the room to ponder my ambitions, devise plans, and think inventively—an essential ritual for dedicated self-improvement.

Now, I'm ready to serve again, armed with greater wisdom, bolstered confidence, and a heart brimming with love and gratitude for the authentically energised people in my life. I am not ready to relaunch GRTR as a CIC again, but I do want to keep that vision in mind, whilst serving a brand new framework that will help many heart centred people on their journey.

So, it is my pleasure, that I announce the inaugural Get Ready to Rise event of 2025! Embark on a unique transformative journey this February at the Community Arts Centre, Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Join a journey, not just an event. It's about growing, connecting, and creating lasting memories.
