The word retreat means two things:
'The act of withdrawing from something difficult and dangerous'
'To move away from danger.'
During this retreat, we are, in some ways, asking your people to do both. 
We need you to retreat from the workplace where the stress is and where you are easily contacted to make decisions and solve problems. We do this so that you can enter an environment where we can gain your complete attention, where you feel 'off duty', and where you can relax surrounded by colleagues who want to make the most out of the time they have together. 
The moving away from danger is facilitated by you all proving that the environment is confirmed as psychologically safe so anyone can say anything or challenge anyone, (politely, professionally and respectfully). 
This event focuses on what requires developing, discusses it in a psychologically safe environment, and develops ideas to take back and experiment with. 
This retreat is not a one-size-fits-all event. It is specifically designed to address your organisation's unique needs, requirements, and desired outcomes. By tailoring the retreat to your specific context, we believe we can maximise its impact and ensure that it aligns with your strategic goals, values, and organisational culture.
It can be for:
Top executives.
A combination of your top executives and senior leadership.
A mix of your organisation's top decision-makers, HR, directors, managers, team leaders and colleagues.
Or any other mix that you prefer.
Numbers can range from about nine individuals to around 30 people. The venue for the event, along with transport, accommodation, and meals, are booked by the organisation taking part. We will guide you through the requirements for the location.
The retreat weekend can be Friday and Saturday, Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday. Alternatively, this can be held during the working week. 
It follows various formats depending on the discussions leading up to the event. Below is an example of a past event (2023).
Request a discussion to help identify the key objectives and ingredients of your Corporate Retreat.

Example event:
Day One:
Event briefing
Share our organisational and personal objectives. (Gathered before the event).
The jigsaw activity (a short, fun activity to get your creative minds in gear).
The basics of Emotional Intelligence and why it is critical to organisational communication.
Psychological Safety, our Moccasin Approach® and our ARCHWAY Approach® (our ground rules for success).
Organisational self-assessment and analysis. (Identifying unseen barriers/blockers).
How to become more self-aware by working with colleagues.
Break out group work and wash up, ready for the morning.
Evening to relax.
Day Two:
A challenging group activity to get those brains going.
Aligning organisational values with present experienced culture.
Create a template for Personal Profiles (possibly).
Break out group work to establish ideas and possible solutions to yesterday's barriers/blockers.
The start of our Organisational Culture Engagement Team (OCET).
A stage one plan for the future.
Next steps and committing to our future plans. (Accountability and Responsibility).
Wash up and depart the venue.
Retreat delivery and venue
We do not offer this as an online experience. We recommend that you select a venue of your choice, but we can also book a venue for you. We'd need to discuss various aspects, such as accessibility requirements and the distance to travel, etc.
LENGTH - Usually two days. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT RETREAT START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
RETREAT DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.

Individuals can attend conferences, workshops, or seminars related to safeguarding, child protection, or specific areas of interest within the field. This allows for continued learning and networking with other professionals.

On the fiction side, she is looking for historical fiction that is well researched, immerses readers in the era, and looks at overlooked characters from the past, or perhaps gives a new spin on someone we think we know. On the literary and upmarket side, she is looking for novels infused with emotions that capture the human experience and make readers think. If your literary novel is something at A24 productions might turn into a movie, this is Liza&rsquo;s taste.When it comes to fantasy, she loves urban and grounded fantasy (no sci-fi please!), and is always happy to look at anything with a vampire, werewolf, witches, warlocks, fairies, and perhaps a sinister selkie or two. She is also very much looking for romantasy and is the best person at the agency to submit that too. For thrillers, send her anything set in an exotic location, high-concept, or things with a speculative twist. She loves when characters are put in situations she would never want to be in, and then they have to get out of it. Her recent favourite fiction includes:&nbsp;Notes on an Execution, Lady Macbethad, Hamnet, A Discovery of Witches, House of Earth and Blood, The Starless Sea, Piranesi, Our Wives Under the Sea, The Pisces, Such A Fun Age.When it comes to non fiction, she is looking for books that teach her something new or reframe a topic from an alternative point of view. This can include cookery, pop science, and social history. Liza&rsquo;s recent favourite non-fiction include:&nbsp;The Five, A History of Art Without Men, Messalina, The Authority Gap, Finding The Mother Tree, Cook This Book, Dessert Person.Liza would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first 5000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Liza is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Rachel Neely began her publishing career in 2016 at HarperCollins, before moving to Hachette where she worked as an editor for the next six years, specialising in crime and thrillers along with book club novels and contemporary fiction, most recently as a Commissioning Editor at Orion. 

Rachel joined Mushens Entertainment at the start of 2022 as an Associate Agent, assisting Juliet Mushens with her client list, including multiple Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling authors. Simultaneously she began signing her own clients. In August 2023 she was promoted to Literary Agent and in 2024 achieved Bookseller Rising Star status.

In actively growing her list, Rachel is looking for book-club fiction, dark academia, rom-coms, tragic love stories, crime and thrillers. Please note she is not the right agent for sci-fi, espionage novels, YA or children’s books. 

She signs both commercial and literary authors, and is always looking for a distinctive voice matched with a compelling plot. She also is especially drawn to darker stories that centre characters with tragic fates, dark pasts or buried trauma. She is also keen to find authors from underrepresented groups who can bring a fresh perspective to well-worn story arcs, or capture experiences shared by many but, as of yet, underexplored in fiction. 

She would love to see a commercial locked-room thriller in the vein of The Midnight Feast, The White Lotus or with shades of Succession; novels about cults such as The Girls; a voice-led serial-killer thriller reminiscent of How to Kill Your Family; compelling dark academia to rival The Secret History; a high-concept but tragic love story that will make her ugly cry in the vein of The Time Traveller’s Wife or One Day; and anything that has an outsider trying to break into the world of the privileged and morally bankrupt.
Besides those above, her favourite novels include The List, The Talented Mr Ripley, The Lovely Bones, Other People’s Clothes, The It Girl, The Girl Before, Notes on an Execution, My Dark Vanessa and My Sister the Serial Killer.

Rachel would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first 5000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Rachel is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

The submission deadline is: Friday 28th March 2025

Gyamfia Osei joined ANA in 2023 as a Literary Agent in the UK department. She was previously an agent at The Good Literary Agency, where she began building her list of authors. Recent successes include a ‘significant’ 6-figure pre-empt for Busayo Matuluko’s YA debut ‘Til Death, a 5-way auction for Quiet Storm by Kimberly Whittam and the shortlisting of Ebinehita Iyere’s Girlhood, Unfiltered at the 2023 British Book Awards. She was also a Bookseller Rising Star in 2024!

At ANA, Gyamfia is focusing on developing the agency’s list of children’s authors, while also representing a bespoke list of commercial adult fiction and narrative non-fiction.

In the Children’s space, Gyamfia would love to find contemporary stories that are full of heart and joy-driven books across all genres (think Clare Weze, Kimberly Whittam and Elle McNicoll). Funny middle-grade and YA horror are currently at the top of her list and she is also keen to read more teen projects (think Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Glow Up Lara Bloom) this year. She is very interested in finding a graphic novel or illustrated project for either MG or YA readers.

In the older fiction space, Gyamfia enjoys well-plotted, fast-paced narratives with authentic characters who lodge themselves in her mind long after she’s finished reading (think Sadie, Verity and Girl A). She’s open to a broad range of genres, but would be particularly keen to see romantasy, cosy crime, contemporary romance and tightly plotted domestic noir. 

Please note that Gyamfia doesn’t consider literary fiction and, in the commercial space, she is not hugely interested in very high fantasy, trauma-focused stories or particularly gruesome horror.

In the non-fiction space, she would be happy to consider commercial narrative non-fiction and cultural history projects (think Brit(ish), It’s Not That Radical and Everything I Know About Love). She is very open when it comes to Children’s non-fiction but would be particularly interested to consider unique cookbooks aimed at young chefs, books exploring mental health/wellness and projects that bring the experiences of marginalised children to the forefront.

Gyamfia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the opening three chapters (max 5,000 words). For picture books please send two texts and a covering letter. For non-fiction please supply a cover letter and proposal with up to 5,000 words of your sample text.

Please send EITHER picture books OR another genre, not both in one submission.

Peer supervision for clinical hypnotherapists offers several benefits that contribute to their professional growth and development. Here are some key advantages: Enhanced Reflective Practice:&nbsp;Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to reflect on their own practice and gain insight into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Through discussions with peers, they can explore different perspectives and approaches, deepening their understanding of their therapeutic work. Continuous Learning:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to expand their knowledge base by learning from the experiences and expertise of their peers. They can share innovative techniques, new research findings, and emerging trends in the field, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development. Emotional Support:&nbsp;The nature of clinical hypnotherapy can be emotionally demanding, and hypnotherapists may encounter challenging situations or difficult clients. Peer supervision provides a safe and supportive space for therapists to share their experiences, express their concerns, and receive emotional support from others who understand the unique demands of their work. Feedback and Validation:&nbsp;Peer supervision offers a valuable platform for receiving feedback and validation from fellow professionals. Colleagues can provide constructive criticism, offer fresh perspectives, and help identify blind spots or areas for improvement. This feedback helps hypnotherapists refine their skills and approaches, ultimately enhancing the quality of their clinical practice. Ethical Guidance:&nbsp;Ethical considerations are crucial in the field of hypnotherapy. Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to discuss ethical dilemmas they may face and seek guidance from their peers. Collaborative discussions around ethical issues help hypnotherapists maintain professional standards and navigate complex situations. Networking and Collaboration:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to build a network of professional contacts. This network can lead to collaborative opportunities, referrals, and potential partnerships, enhancing their professional growth and expanding their practice. Professional Accountability:&nbsp;Peer supervision establishes a sense of accountability among hypnotherapists. When therapists know they will be discussing their work with peers, they are more likely to maintain high standards and engage in self-reflection to ensure the quality of their practice.

One Day Introduction Course

Since the end of the Cold War, ideological rivalries have largely given way to nationalism and ethnic conflict as the primary drivers of strife within and between nations. From ethnic and religious violence to clan-based struggles, cultural divisions have destabilized countries and regions, often spilling across borders to threaten global security. Scholars warn that these conflicts—frequently framed as ethnic, nationalist, or religious—challenge not only regional stability but also the very concept of world order.

Even in so-called "unified" First World nation-states, cultural tensions have surged, evident in the rise of secessionist movements and anti-immigrant political parties. Minority groups worldwide are increasingly vocal, demanding recognition and rights, while those in power often respond with repression or violence. The result is a growing wave of nationalist conflicts—ranging from mass expulsions to state-sponsored genocide—that has tested traditional notions of state sovereignty and sparked international humanitarian interventions.

Despite widespread acknowledgment of this nationalist resurgence, experts remain divided on its origins, meaning, and solutions. Debates intensified with Samuel Huntington’s provocative “Clash of Civilizations” thesis, which gained urgency after September 11 and the War on Terror. 

Critics argue that the real struggle lies not between civilizations but within competing visions of modernity—one rooted in individualism and democracy, the other in communal identity and self-determination—or what some call a “Clash of Fundamentalism” fueled by religious movements.

This course explores these dynamics, examining the roots of identity-based conflict and the pathways to peace in deeply divided societies. It equips learners with the theoretical tools and practical insights to understand and address one of the defining challenges of our time.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Through this course, you will:
Gain a comprehensive understanding of nationalism’s emergence, persistence, and its potential to fuel ethnic and religious polarization, violence, and civil war.
Explore the causes, consequences, and responses to identity-based conflicts at national, regional, and global levels.
Develop an integrated perspective on conflict resolution and peace building, blending theory, and real-world practice.
Analyze the social, economic, and political conditions of plural societies grappling with division and strife.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
