We spent wonderful morning with a fabulous group of industry colleagues on (and 'in'!) the banks of the River Boyne today at The Hot Box in Co. Meath.

It was so great to see you all. We hope you are heading into the new week feeling refreshed and energised after bracing the cold waters of the River and the ice bath. There were plenty of laughs had while chilling out in the sauna and hot tub. We can't wait to do it all again soon and hope to see you back then. Next time we might even manage to convince all of you to get in the river (ahem.. Rachel 😂). Thanks so much for coming along, it was such a gorgeous morning x

A throwback to the AWTE International Women's Day Event.

If you had the opportunity to attend, you will recall the fantastic time shared by all. This year's event took place at Cafe en Seine, offering an afternoon dedicated to honouring women. Both members and non-members came together to join us for this special occasion.

Generously sponsored by The Spanish Tourist Board, the event featured a delightful Sherry & Cheese tasting from The Cádiz region. Attendees enjoyed a lovely three-course meal while our esteemed guest speaker, Sharon Thompson, shared insights about her career journey. Following the meal, we were entertained with great performances and exciting prizes added to the fun-filled day.

We are excited to do it all over again, and preparations have already begun for International Women's Day 2025!🥳

Just a few hours until Darkness into Light 2024!🌅💛 Remember to set your alarm clocks. The weather seems promising, so get ready for a beautiful sunrise 🥰 If any of our members are participating tomorrow, feel free to tag us at , and we'll feature your posts on our social media platforms.

Attention Members 📢

Join us tomorrow at 1pm on Zoom when Sharon Cassidy from Blue Crystal Therapies will be showing us all how we can declutter our homes, feel lighter in ourselves and more able to deal with certain areas our lives that are challenging for us all.

Did you know, we get 80% usage from 20% of our belongings. Every item has an energy, when this energy becomes stagnant it becomes heavy, this in turn brings our own energy down. Being able to breathe easily, in our home or work space is a joy.

This is a member only event. Free of Charge
