MY BEST RETREAT
Are You Ready to Discover Your Power?
Get your power from within and learn how to tap into it with the help of Dimitri Raftopoulos, a successful London psychotherapist, actor and film-director who has worked extensively with both men and women, straight and gay, singles and couples. The Fierce Feminine Workshops for women are a culmination of his work and experience in his private practice in London’s Oxford Street, as well as many years of personal and corporate workshops. The playful but profound workshops for women include the use of spiritual and psychotherapeutic insights, drama and role-play as tools to help you find and integrate your own insights.
Power cannot only be given to women by laws and society, it must also be accessed from within. The habit of disempowerment passed down to women over generations can be gently unlearnt and replaced with life skills and habits of speech, body-language, mind-set and actions that can have life-changing consequences in your personal, romantic and professional life!
The steps to learning how to tap into the ‘Fierce Feminine’, and un-learning all the blocks handed down over generations of conditioning – are the natural principles which Dimitri has uncovered over a decade of research and practice with his clients, to help women stay true to their nature while feeling free to tap into their innate stores of power. Only when women learn to access and activate their own power, can they find it in themselves to effortlessly counterbalance masculine power without the need to vanquish it. There is no need for a battle of the sexes, let it be a dance, an art; a true art of living!

You’ll learn how to:
-
assert yourself and be ‘fierce’ in your own way
-
access your sensuality and embody your ‘feminine’ qualities
-
harness your own power so that you get exactly what you want
-
manage men in any situation, especially relationships.
What Can I Expect from the Weekend Workshop?
This dynamic personal development weekend workshop for women is about discovering your natural capabilities which you’ve hidden away or not used. By tapping into them, you'll be able to reconnect with your Fierce Feminine power and embody it confidently.
Even if you’re very confident and achieving success in your life, when you do this by competing in a man’s world – set up to favour men - you lose something of your feminine beauty.
The Fierce Feminine Weekend Workshop is about reclaiming that amazing part of you, the under-appreciated part, and unleashing all that is amazing about being a woman!
Women play a vital role in bringing balance into the world, which is much needed right now. When you uncover the ways you’ve been conditioned and dominated in society, which forms who you have become, you can start to take action and reclaim your Fierce Feminine power.
Dimitri Raftopoulos will guide you through a variety of tuition, group discussions and insightful role plays so that you can connect with your natural female qualities: being able to protect yourself whilst being a sensual woman. This is personal for every woman and the key to expressing who you are as a Fierce Feminine goddess.
You’ll focus on your professional and personal relationships with men as an important aspect of drawing out your Fierce Feminine power. You have to deal with men in everyday life and how you interact with them is influenced by a number of things.
In the workshops you’ll discover:
-
how your conditioning has stopped you from fully expressing yourself in all areas of your life
-
how to set boundaries and be able to assert yourself naturally in your own ‘fierce’ way without trying to compete with men
-
how to reconnect with your intuition and sensuality and discover your true feminine nature
-
the key ways in which women and men are different and how this affects communication and relationships.
​When you bring together your fierce assertiveness with your sensual feminine qualities, you’ll be able to handle any situation with confidence.
Fierce Feminine Workshop Programme
Over the weekend, you'll cover all the themes in the programme finishing about half-way through at the end of Saturday. The workshops are delivered in English, however Dimitri can translate into Greek if needed.
Your Conditioning
The journey towards being an empowered woman begins by allowing a space to explore social, cultural and family conditioning around being a woman. That means identifying the rules others have defined and tried to impose on you about what it means to be a woman. Once you’re aware of your conditioning, you’re able to release what does not work and has been holding you back. This is how you redefine what it means to be a woman from your core and chart the journey to expressing yourself fully.
What Does 'Fierce' Mean to You?
Assertiveness is the basic building block of self-confidence and boundaries are part of how you assert yourself. You’ll learn how strong your boundaries are, how to set boundaries and protect them by asserting yourself. Your femininity can only emerge once you feel that you can protect yourself in any situation.
Exploring Your Femininity
Women’s natural feminine qualities of intuition and sensuality are very important to be able to navigate life. Intuition is your guide to protecting yourself and ‘feeling’ whether something is right or wrong for you. Sensuality is your unique feminine essence and you have to feel safe before you can really embody it. To what extent do you trust and use these two very powerful tools?
Understanding Men &
The Male Brain

You’ll examine the different types of men you’ve attracted into your life and the patterns that you get stuck in.
