  • Inspiration & Reinvention Group

    Something new for 2012.

    Are you stuck in a rut, do you tend to procrastinate, would you like to try something new?

    The Fisherman’s Retreat will be hosting the first ever Inspiration & Reinvention Group meeting in the North West of England. IRG was the brainchild of Debbie Arnold, actress and inspirational speaker. The meetup groups began in London and have been a great success helping people to fulfill their potential and live abundant lives. There have also been meetings held in Spain and now other parts of the UK.
    The Fisherman’s will hold the first meeting for the North West region on Thursday 12th January from 7pm, and the cost is only 10 English pounds per person!
    Whats more amazing is the fact that this event will be attended by inspirational speaker Roslyn Bell from Belfast and Law of Attraction Transformational Teacher and Feng Shui Master Marie Diamond, plus the founder, Debbie Arnold.
    This is a wonderful opportunity and there are only 30 spaces available as this is a small group event.
    Please book tickets as soon as possible.
