ou don’t need to don a backpack and traipse around the world for a year to ‘find’ yourself. Just pop over to Gloucestershire for the weekend.

Enrol on a three-night ‘Open to The Goddess’ course, and your guide, Anna Ziman will help you and the other women in your group to uncover the real you.

Anna is a qualified teacher, counsellor and actress – and injects a little bit of all three into these courses, which are part ritual, part performance art.

The sessions take place at various locations including Norfolk, The Forest of Dean – even India – and after forming small, intimate groups, each of you is appointed a goddess personality to embody for the duration of your stay.

You then spend the weekend trying out a variety of therapy exercises and improv’ sessions that reveal the things you share with your super-charged female deities.

It might sound a tad bonkers, but it’s stirring stuff – the idea being that it teaches you to bring these ‘powers’ into your everyday life.
