Katherine in your Kitchen

We’ve been busy! An 80th birthday tea this morning! Hopefully it’s all been devoured by now!

Delighted to be doing the catering for my dear friend, Saffron’s, Enneagram workshop on August 4th. Scrumptious fresh vegetarian fare is the order of the day! We’ll start the day with steaming 🌶 chai!

Everything Saffron does is about helping people ‘wake-up’. To what, you might ask? To everything. We are all preoccupied with change, but have you ever stopped to consider what the real impact of change is having; and will increasingly have, on you, your family, your children, your career, your financial future and your emotional hygiene? What is emotional hygiene, you might ask? And how on earth would you find out? Ever heard of the Enneagram?

Come and discover the Enneagram and how YOU might be able to navigate some of the questions above with clarity that ‘feels right or makes sense’ to you. Make the experience rememberable by bringing with your partner, sibling, family member or your friend for a SPECIAL PRICE. Bookings include refreshments and lunch with lots of laughter, see you on the 4th August!
