“Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck doing something you don’t love.” – Mandy Hale, often known as “The Single Woman,” is an American author and blogger.

Growth, trees, mountains, view, breakthrough

As we embark on another year full of potential and growth, I’m thrilled to bring you an update following the work I have been doing on behalf of Mind Environment.

Last year I was the Programme Host for a leaders retreat in Bardou, France.  I am returning to host two programmes this year, as Programme Host for both the April and October sessions of The Breakthrough Programme.

Dr. Tom Cotton, the visionary Founder and Director of Mind Environment, has also shared some exciting updates. The team has been hard at work and has just launched a brand-new website sharing details of this year’s planned events.

2024 is set to be a transformative year at Bardou with two iterations of The Breakthrough Programme. Combining the best elements of last year’s Leadership Purpose Retreat and Individual Programme, these sessions are designed for anyone ready to confront challenges, experience rapid breakthroughs, and leave with actionable plans for change.

Here are the save-the-date details:

  • The Breakthrough Programme: April 18th – 22nd
  • The Breakthrough Programme: October 16th – 20th

As a community-driven initiative, Mind Environment thrives on word-of-mouth. If you know someone in your personal or professional circle who could benefit from this experience, feel free to spread the word. Annabel and Tom are more than happy to answer questions or discuss the programmes in more detail.

We value your thoughts and feedback on the new website and our programmes. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested in learning more or if you’d like to have a chat to find out if this might be the right thing for you or a colleague.

Here’s to a year of breakthroughs and meaningful change.
