Flourish Club Coaching Circle: an 8-Week Journey to Your Brightest Self
This 8-week programme offers a safe, structured space to:
take stock of each area of your life, your routines, habits and patterns
check in and ask, am I making the most of my one precious life?
unravel long held dreams and goals for making your greatest impact
connect to subconscious beliefs holding you back
set realistic intentions for your most aligned way of living
Facilitated by experienced coach, yoga teacher and internal family systems (ifs) practitioner, Madeline Gibson, the programme is designed to awaken your most authentic energy so you can shine brightly in 2024.
Life’s busy. And if we’re not careful, we pay a high price to live on auto-pilot.
Our time on this earth is extremely precious.
Did you know that the average lifespan is 4,000 weeks?
When you break it down into units of time, like Oliver Burkeman did in his recent book of the same title, it really hits home how the weeks, months and years slip through our fingers.
Whilst it’s true we all have responsibilities, like work, children or others in our care, we can’t afford to also have our attention stolen, and energy depleted, by things that aren’t truly important to us.
We can’t afford not to show up for ourselves and in our lives in the way that feels GOOD - to us.
Read: authentic, effortless, intentional, aligned with who we really are.

Connection, guidance, accountability and support
Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we should be, and embracing who we are.
— Brenè Brown
When you were little, what did you dream of? How did you find joy?
How ALIVE are those dreams and joy today?
We are all born innately courageous, confident, creative and curious about the world.
But somehow over time, the world says ‘do things differently’. In the most extreme, the world tells us to completely override our intuition. Somewhere in between, it gives us this idea that we should do things we don’t like, we should be someone we are not.
Unfortunately, we believe it. And it costs us our authenticity and our potential in life.
We conclude that we are the ones who must change and to conceal our truth in order to fit in, and this creates a cycle of shameful beliefs about ourselves and our capabilities.
It’s not our fault this happens - we are working against significant external forces - usually deriving from the standards set by global systems (nb. patriarchy, capitalism).
However, it is our responsibility to ourselves and the world to rediscover the gold that lies within us.
This is the key to us living our most fulfilled and meaningful life.
Maybe the journey is not so much about becoming anything. Maybe its about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you to begin with.
— Paulo Coelho
During the two months we spend together, you will be guided to turn inwards through reflective practices and exercises deriving from evidence-based coaching methodologies.
Furthermore, you’ll enjoy the invaluable experience of connection and supporting one another as a group.

Enrolment and course material
The first thing you need to do is choose between the online or in-person option.
For the safety and connection of the group, you will not be able to mix and match each week, so please choose the option that feels most suitable and that you will be able to attend at least 7 of 8 sessions (ideally 8). Your full commitment to complete the entire programme is required.
Having received confirmation of your place, 24 hours before the session you will receive the course material for the week ahead. The same process will follow each week.
In between the live sessions, you optionally have the opportunity to be part of a group on Voxer, where you can stay connected with the group, share resources, ideas or challenges that you face during the week.
