NOON

Clarify your life for 2025
2025-01-05 17:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London) | The address will be revealed on the ticket after purchase.
Want to make the most of 2025 but still thinking about what that means for you?
This one-hour workshop, led by expert Alison Cable, will enlist creative exercises, reflection and journaling to help you clarify what you’d like to let go of from 2024 and what you want to move toward. Alison led our popular journaling sessions at our Wern-y-Cwm Wales Retreat, winning some fans for her method in the process.
The session will offer inspiring themes and tools for reflection and expression — as well as opportunities to share with the group if you choose. It will be freeing, empowering, playful – all in the company of fellow Queenagers. It will be a space for imagination and self-expression that will help produce real insights into what you want from 2025 and how to go about getting it.
This session is open and free to all paid Members on NOON.

About Calling Una Marson
Una Marson was unstoppable—a poet whose words lit up hearts, a broadcaster who made history in 1941 as the first Black woman on the BBC, and an activist who fought fiercely for racial and gender equality. She brought Caribbean culture to the global stage, challenged prejudice head-on, and dared to imagine a better world. Yet history nearly erased her.
From the streets of 1920s Kingston, Jamaica, to the heart of British broadcasting during World War II, Una’s journey was one of resilience, ambition, and brilliance. She shared ideas with George Orwell, held her ground with T.S. Eliot, and used her voice to amplify the silenced while navigating a world unprepared for her genius.
Calling Una Marson restores this trailblazing woman to her rightful place in history. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, it celebrates her dazzling, difficult life and the legacy of courage, creativity, and justice she left behind.
Praise for Calling Una Marson
‘It’s wonderful that Una Marson’s groundbreaking talent is being finally celebrated in all its glory. This is an inspiring and long-overdue tribute to a pioneer on who’s shoulders we now stand.’ — Baroness Floella Benjamin, broadcaster and campaigner
‘An extraordinary story about an extraordinary woman. Una Marson broke barriers, and this book ensures her name will never be forgotten.’ — Sir Trevor McDonald, broadcaster
‘Una Marson’s story is an essential piece of history that demands to be known. This book reclaims the voice of a trailblazer who shaped the world we live in today.’ — David Olusoga, historian and author of Black and British

How to sleep better, with Heather Darwall-Smith
2025-03-12 18:30 - 19:30 (Europe/London) | The address will be revealed on the ticket after purchase.
How are you sleeping?

If your answer is “Not as well as I’d like”, help is at hand with our How to sleep better webinar featuring Heather Darwall-Smith, sleep expert and author of the new book How to Be Awake (So You Can Sleep Through the Night). It follows her debut, The Science of Sleep, and explores the paradox of modern sleep struggles.

Instead of simply focussing on sleep symptoms, Heather shares her approach as a psychotherapist to help us unpick some of the causes of poor sleep, learn how to address them and sleep better as a result! With her new book, she demystifies the bewildering data around sleep by combining science with natural self-help techniques.

Research shows that around 47% of women in perimenopause experience sleep disorders, rising to 60% post-menopause. Fluctuating hormones, night sweats and physical changes contribute to sleep issues. And poor sleep can adversely affect your mood, stress levels, daily functioning, sex life and can even lead to increased risk of chronic diseases.

But that knowledge doesn’t help when you’re staring at the ceiling in the dark. At NOON we also know anecdotally that the midlife collision – when experiences like redundancy, bereavement, financial pressure, elder care, divorce, empty nest, health problems or parenting teens – all seem to arrive at once.

That’s why Heather’s approach is so helpful – and holistic. Come get tips, insight and advice that will help get you sleeping like a baby!
About Heather Darwall-Smith
Heather is a London and Dubai-based sleep specialist psychotherapist, uniquely positioned at the intersection of psychology and sleep science. Unlike traditional sleep medicine approaches that focus on medical or behavioural interventions alone, Heather works psychotherapeutically, recognising that sleep issues are often deeply rooted in emotional, psychological, and social factors.

She has appeared on television and radio talking about her method, which has been called “unlike any other book in the genre” and “one of the best books on sleep available bar none”.

Arrival and welcome: The day commences at the light-filled Wasing Pavilion, where we indulge in tea and engage in meaningful conversations.

A walk to the lake: Next, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the ancient woodland, leading us to the tranquil lake and sauna area. The Wasing retreat in July is a gorgeous time to immerse yourself in the pristine pure waters, the lush surroundings – and the bliss of alternating between dips in the wood-fired sauna perched on the lake’s edge.
Lunch alfresco: Afterward, we’ll gather around an open fire for a delicious and healthy lunch bowl. With vegetarian and vegan options available, you can savour the flavours and indulge in hot cacao and tea, nurturing your body and spirit.
The Wasing NOON Circle: Once satiated, we’ll venture to our forest yurt for a transformative Noon sharing circle, facilitated by Eleanor Mills, the esteemed Founder of NOON. Together, we’ll delve into the discussions on embracing new chapters in midlife and becoming the women we’ve always aspired to be. This sacred space fosters support and compassion, where stories are shared and hearts are heard.
