The Day

The shape of the day is one of innovation, interaction and inspiration. Forget sitting back listening to a string of speakers, this is about getting involved and getting back what you put into the day.

The main areas of focus are self development and exploring how we can make a difference to others locally, nationally and internationally via a variety of workshops covering topical areas of interest and driven by the participants on the day. We will of course also be having fun, a charity zone and lots of opportunities to network.

The day is being delivered by a number of individuals who are working together on a donation of time and talent basis for women. Just like the Monastery with ‘bricks’ of resource and talent we are building the Manchester Celebration of International Women’s Day

"What can we say,  the synchronicity that bought about this event was simply amazing, as is the Monastery itself. This is our second year in what has to be, the most amazing space in the country available for a Mind, Body and Spirit event! If you only ever exhibit at one event, this has to be the one! The ambience and sense of peace and upliftment the building itself provides is enough, and that is before we start putting the event in it." BSSK
