STRUCTURE: The Paris Set Me Free Transformative Weekend is divided into six thematic sections. Each section explores a fascinating aspect of what it means to be alive, to be aware of our limitless potential, to be ambitious, to be concerned, to be dissatisfied, to be creative, to make the most of the present moment, to be happy.

Each section includes one or more striking Paris-related metaphors to illustrate the major points of the discussion as well as a variety of lively activities to help us explore and see things more clearly.

APPROACH: My approach is based on guided discussion and self-discovery through exploration and experience. I mix presentation of innovative or profound ideas with fun interactive activities, entertaining anecdotes and memorable metaphors (based on my many years in Paris and elsewhere).

We will also be physically exploring the city in a rich variety of ways designed to bring home the most important points in as real and original as fashion as possible.

There is no judgement, no right or wrong, no question not worth responding to and of course plenty of personal input and sharing from all the participants is extremely welcome, without which none of us need even be there! And it’s fun – my rather irreverent and wry British sense of humour will ensure things don’t get too serious!

RESULTS: While I hope you will feel you get “results” after this weekend, this is not a results-based programme. You don’t win or lose at the end of these two days; you don’t succeed or fail; and you almost certainly don’t get instant solutions to all your life’s problems!

What you do get is more clarity and understanding about how life really works. You get a brand new way of looking at things. You get a wonderful sense of potential, including the potential for enjoying your life fully right now, without waiting another second. You get the feeling that all the answers you ever needed and ever will need are already inside you.

All whilst redefining and even eliminating the concepts of success, failure, comparison and limits entirely. That’s not a bad “result” if you ask me!

INCLUDED: All the course materials you need are provided for you. Snacks and drinks are available throughout the day. Also included is a meal in a local Parisian brasserie on the Saturday evening and a trip up the Eiffel Tower – an integral part of the course, not a tourist excursion!

* Also make sure to check out the Bonuses just below for some awesome extras which instantly double the value of the weekend!

COACHING: As part of this highly personalised experience, two individual coaching sessions are included, one before and one after the weekend in Paris. This will allow you to clearly see how everything fits together in the context of your life and get maximum benefit from the two in-person days.

BOOKLET: You will have explanations of all the original activities and metaphors in an illustrated booklet for you to keep and refer to after the course.

MY ART: I offer each participant a highly symbolic and unique desk-sized painting in my infinity² series which will remind you of the weekend for years to come.

FORUM: A private Facebook group will allow you to share ideas and insights, plan your trip, keep in touch afterwards and ask questions if you need to!

* It’s impossible to put an exact value on all these bonuses, but certainly several hundred euros, which doubles the value you are getting from your investment!

WHERE: We will be based in the 15th district of Paris in a cosy artistic studio just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower. The nearest metro station is La Motte Piquet-Grenelle on lines 6, 8 and 10.

WHEN: We start at 9 am on Saturday morning and finish around 6 pm on Sunday afternoon and you will be fully occupied during the entire time so don’t plan anything else!

HOW MUCH: The Paris Set Me Free: Transformative Weekend costs €600 per person. As a special welcome offer to new participants, I am offering a 50% discount. So the price is only €295 for a limited time.

HOW TO PAY: Payment is by Paypal (which includes credit cards) or bank transfer or French cheques. Payment must be made at the same time as booking and refunds are only considered if the freed place can be filled by someone else.

WHAT ELSE: You need to book (and pay for!) your own travel to Paris and your accommodation if necessary. You also need a small budget for a meal in a local restaurant or brasserie on Saturday evening and a pot-luck buffet or picnic on Sunday.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: As soon as your application is complete you will receive your Paris Set Me Free Welcome Pack and we will schedule our 1-to-1 pre-weekend Transformative Coaching session. You will also be invited to our private Facebook Group – feel free to jump in and introduce yourself!
