The Hoffman Process

Broughton Sanctuary is delighted to host The Hoffman Process, a seven-day residential course designed to help you reconnect with your true self and make conscious choices that can transform your life, work, and relationships. Throughout the Process, you will learn practical tools and techniques to shift old behavioural patterns that may be keeping you from feeling fully alive. For many participants, it becomes the turning point between the life they have been living and the life they want to create.

With more than 50 years of history, the Process has been delivered in 15 countries and has supported over 100,000 people from all walks of life. It is recommended by many medical and health professionals and has also been the focus of scientific research.

Is the Process for Me?

People are often drawn to the Hoffman Process for reasons such as:

• I feel stuck. Something is holding me back and I want to expand the possibilities in my life.
• I think I'm going through a mid life crisis, a change of life, and I don't know how to ask for help.
• I know what I should do but often cannot generate the will to do it.
• I often feel stressed, angry, resentful, embarrassed, or depressed. I want to change.
• I work compulsively – often to avoid other aspects of my life. It impacts my relationships and happiness.
• I often feel anxious or nervous for no reason. I don't know where to get support. I need help.

The Aims of the Hoffman Process

The Hoffman Process is based on the belief that a focused, intensive experiential programme can accelerate healing and offer a more time-efficient path than months or years of traditional once-a-week therapy.

During the Process, you will:

• Learn how to release and resolve persistent negative behavioural patterns of feeling unloved and unlovable.
• Examine the major influences on your life, trace the root of the adopted negativity, and release any pain, grief, anger, shame or resentment that has been stored there.
• Reach forgiveness and acceptance for yourself and others.
• Develop a more compassionate approach to personal relationships and family life.
• Experience a deep sense of your own resilience, of life's possibilities and be prepared to embrace change.

Here, you can read numerous stories from people who have done the Process and how it has benefited them.
