Taking Up Space Unapologetically with Lauren McWilliams

Reclaim Your Whole Self

Are you tired of performing and pretending? So were we! That's why we've curated events that meet you exactly where you are and create spaces for what you need. This February, join us in person for an inspiring experience designed to help you reconnect with your true self. In a world that often demands you fragment yourself to fit other people's expectations, this event is designed to bring your whole self back together again.

What to Expect:

Meaningful Activities: Dive into hands-on workshops designed to spark self-awareness and help you identify the "Hidden Self".

A Welcoming Space: An environment where you can be seen without performing and share honest conversations.

Integration Planning: Practical steps to bring your full energy into your career, relationships, and self-care.

Welcome to Elara: A Space to Pause, Connect, and Rise

Elara Community & Events is a growing collective of entrepreneurial and professional women who value real connection, meaningful growth, and showing up for each other. We provide a sanctuary for the "sandwich generation" - women balancing high-pressure careers while caring for children and aging parents. By merging inner-work coaching with visibility strategy, Elara nurtures the whole woman - personally and professionally.

This is much more than networking. You belong here because you want to develop your work and your life on your terms. We believe that the more "you" you are, the more you become a magnet for the people and opportunities that actually matter. It is a place where you can express yourself freely without fear of judgment and belong without losing yourself.

Elara is where professional & entrepreneurial women connect, collaborate, and grow with purpose. Whether you are leading a team, building a business, or navigating a career change, you belong here.

Non-Member Ticket: £20 (+ Eventbrite fee) If ticket sales have closed before the event and you still wish to attend, get in touch with the organisers directly.

Elara Member Ticket: Included in your membership

Interested in more than just one event?
