A gentle journalling workshop offering a supportive bridge back into community, helping women rebuild confidence and connection.

The Power of YOU — Women’s Wellbeing & Empowerment Journalling Workshop

Almost 70 workshops delivered. Over 600 women supported. One life‑changing experience.

The Power of YOU is Compassionate Voices’ flagship wellbeing and empowerment workshop — a safe, uplifting and confidence‑building space for women of all ages and backgrounds.

Many women join us after counselling or specialist therapy, when they need a gentle bridge back into community, connection and everyday life. Our workshop provides that bridge.

Who is this workshop for?

Women experiencing:

• Past trauma or domestic abuse

• Bullying at work or online

• Isolation or loneliness

• Physical illness or recovery

• Bereavement

• Redundancy or major life change

• Anxiety, low confidence or loss of self‑belief

Whatever the story, the common thread is the same:

Women wanting to feel stronger, more connected and more confident again.

What to expect

• A warm, welcoming, judgement‑free space

• Guided journalling activities designed to build confidence and self‑awareness

• Gentle group connection with women who understand

• Tools to support emotional wellbeing long after the workshop ends

• Optional post‑workshop activities including crafting with purpose, art journalling, personal safety sessions and more

The impact

Women who attend The Power of YOU have:

• Returned to work

• Started their own businesses

• Become volunteers

• Rebuilt confidence and community

• Found their voice again

This workshop is often the start of a new chapter — and we’d love to welcome you into it.
