‘At the end of a busy week there is a temptation to rush off, power down, and try to “recover” before doing it all again next week...
A Space Between - with Penny & Saiyyidah
Friday 23rd February, 2023. 2-4pm UK.
St Ethelburgas, Bishopsgate, London.
At 'A Space Between', you'll have the opportunity to explore self-leadership. There will be space for personal reflection, tapping into inner wisdom, and discovering something new by being in relationship with others. This is a space to reflect, gain more clarity about who you are, and what that means for you, your team, organisation and beyond. Immerse yourself in a calm world of creativity and inspiration.
This event is a unique playground for leaders, coaches, and enthusiasts to come together
Saiyyidah and Penny are aiming to facilitate
- simplicity,
- clarity,
- impactful ideas, and
- a space to connect with like-minded individuals.
We really hope you can join us at the beginning of something that will inspire, grow, and transform.
Spend time finding perspective through a different lens, explore some concepts & participate in reflective practice (as little or as much sharing as you wish)
Feedback from previous attendees
Emma Cook — Value Venture
"Well I can say with certainty that this 'experiment' definitely worked. What a wonderful experience. Thank you so much Penny and Saiyyidah and everyone in attendance, a privilege to share time with you all."
Lynn Hanford-Day — Leadership Coach
"It brought me a sacred pause, a quiet transition from the week to the weekend. If you’d like some time and space to decompress I highly recommend A Space Between with Penny and Saiyyidah."
Asma Mansuri — Coach, Facilitator
"It was a valuable reminder of things - its value came from the space it gave me to stir somewhere new."
Mahalah Katz Groves — International Development Consultant
"I found it thought provoking and enriching. It helped me to focus in on some things I haven’t been - and has left me with lots to contemplate. It was also really affirmative to be around people facing or who had faced similar crossroads, and in an environment where I felt so comfortable to share."
clarity - calm - connection

Our reflections from the last A Space Between...
"On 10 November 2023 we concluded a fun and fulfilling experiment...
We held 'A Space Between' at St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. The whole journey to today - the 12 years we've known each other, on and off; the 6 months of sporadic preparation/planning... it has all been amazing. That all culminated in experiencing new edges, uncovering new knowledge about me and us, and finding new insights about how to 'do' and 'be' in life.
During a short de-brief afterwards, we said that we thought it was a success... and now that we have travelled into a different part of our lives we feel more certain that the 'A Space Between' experiment worked, and are doing it again.
At the end people asked 'when is the next one?', they said they found clarity, and offered that it was a great use of the Friday afternoon liminal space between a busy week and the weekend. And as more time past since the last event, it’s good to hear that the experience has stayed with participants and helped move them on in an unexpected and sustained way.
Perfect... exactly what we wanted!
The last area of inquiry as we left the room was 'how do you want to be'? And we all took that into the rest of our lives..."
