Feeling 'stuck', particularly in relation to work and career, is something that often leads people to the Process. For
Nicola Dela-Croix
, it was a key motivation;
'When I completed the Hoffman Process in 2008, I knew my inner world had dramatically shifted in the most positive way. I also understood how that shift would make a meaningful difference to my family and friends. What I didn’t appreciate at the time, however, was the positive impact my Hoffman experience would have – and would continue to have – on the families of more than 1,000 unique individuals that I’ve encountered in the years since then.'
After the Process, Nicola (who was previously a magazine editor) retrained as a Funeral Celebrant, and now creates tailor-made funerals that celebrate lives. She's also passionate about encouraging people to embrace their mortality at any stage in their lives, and she writes and gives talks that help people rethink their relationship with bereavement.
'We all bring something uniquely valuable to the world,' Nicola says, 'and that should be recognised and celebrated not only when our time comes, but also while we are still here.'

From Brighton to Beirut, Manchester to Malaysia - more than 112 intrepid Hoffman grads took part in for our first ever live video call on 'Happy Monday' (20 January).
The virtual meet-up was the brainchild of Hoffman UK's Graduate Relationship Manager Lucy, and was led by Hoffman MD Serena (pictured). Together we shared a visualisation, met a host of fluffy friends and managed to raise a several hundred pounds for the
Hoffman Scholarship Fund
at the same time. A huge thank you to all who took part. Thank you also to grad
Bruce Crawford
for inventing the word 'Honkference', which we'll be using shamelessly as our own invention from now on.
Bouyed by your wonderful collective energy, we've decided to trial a series of webinars via Zoom as the latest addition to our Post-Process support calendar. The first will be led by Serena on
Wednesday 18 March
and will be an examination of the
Hoffman Toolkit
, with the opportunity for a Q&A at the end. Keep an eye out for further themed calls throughout the year.

February's top tip: say it with flowers
|
|
|
|
You don't need Valentine's Day as an excuse, or somebody else to buy them for you. This month, surround yourself with flowers, and let them remind you how special you are.
If bouquets are your thing, treat yourself to a big one - the kind that you'd usually only consider buying for somebody else - and take the time to really notice each individual bloom. If that's not practical, or you don't like cut stems, then find some flowers growing in nature and spend time admiring their beauty instead.
You could also draw or paint yourself a bunch, using all of your favourite colours, and hang your creation where it will brighten your day. Reward yourself - you're worth it!
