This is an American custom held traditionally on the last Thursday in November, when extended families make the effort to get home and gather to enjoy good food and give thanks for the good things in their lives.

Anyone can enjoy it, So why not invite some friends and neighbours to a Turkey dinner? If anyone wants to join this and make it a big joint event, then start your dinner at 8pm on Thursday 27th November in the knowledge that lots of others are doing it at the same. Let’s compare recipes in the forum section.

We love gathering friends together over food on dark winter evenings. But sometimes it’s great to have new ideas to try out rather than it just be the same old thing of gathering round the table and eating too much.

Does anybody have any bright ideas for a fun evening that might spark off deeper conversations rather than just “How are your kids getting on?”

Welcome to the new look Activate website and we do hope you’ll stay a while, look around and contribute in some way to our community. Please feel free to post questions or helpful comments.

We want to provide food for thought and – more importantly – food for action. Our desire is that by joining with us you will feel inspired and resourced to Activate your life, your faith and your mind.

This weekend 14-16th November is our annual Weekend Away at the Royal Court Hotel in Coventry. So if you are a spontaneous sort of person and fancy a last minute break then why not contact us and see about joining in?

We’ve got a fabulous girly weekend planned with lots of fun, good food and good company so watch this space for feedback.
Hope to hear from you soon

Looking forward (or back depending on when you read this) to the Activate Autumn Weekend Away.

Switch On – Because you’re worth it!

We hope you’ll agree that it’s wonderful being a woman. But isn’t one of the downsides that we often don’t value ourselves enough – don’t recognise our own worth?

So our fabulous Activate Autumn Weekend Away is designed to redress the balance! There’ll be lots of opportunities for pampering yourself as well as gently stretching your brain and your muscles.

You can sample any or all of the goodies on offer yourself over the weekend and then take the best of them back home to share with others in your community. We’ll look at time management for manic mums – or any busy women for that matter – as well as great easy recipes to free up some kitchen time, and we’ll share some good food and fun. We’ll look at books and film, ethical fashion and beauty, self image, career and personal development.

And we’ll leave time for pampering. You can take home some recipes for potent lotions and potions to make as gifts for others or to use in your own bathroom. Hopefully we’ll all learn to love ourselves a bit more. There’ll also be an opportunity to explore why we’re of so much value to the one who made us just the way we are.

Tempted? Then book now and reserve yourself a place – Because you’re worth it!
