Two Days. Real Change.

A first step towards the life you want
The Hoffman Essentials gives you a first step towards the life you want — and the skills to start living it now.
Two days that fit into busy lives, The Hoffman Essentials is an interactive introduction to the same powerful tools used in the full Hoffman Process.
Step away from the noise, slow down, and take stock.
The weekend offers small group sessions, interactive exercises, and the support of experienced Hoffman facilitators — all in a safe, confidential environment.
Gain tools you can use immediately:
- Emotional awareness skills to help you respond, not react
- Mind-body techniques for clarity, calm and confidence
- Simple daily habits to keep you grounded and connected
Perfect for you if…
- You’re at a crossroads in work, relationships, or personal growth
- You want to explore new ways of thinking and feeling without a huge commitment
- You’re curious about the Hoffman Process but want to try it out first
- You’d like practical tools for living with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion
Whether you’re at a career crossroads, going through a life change, or simply want to feel more connected to yourself and others, the Essentials is your first step towards a more connected, purposeful way of being.

Practicalities
- Numbers are limited on these in-person weekends, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
- The course is non-residential and spans two days. For the cohesion of the group, we ask that you commit to full attendance on both days and complete the days consecutively; you cannot complete the programme on another weekend.
- This is an individual program in a group setting, and we want each person to focus on their own learning. For this reason we ask that you don’t attend the in-person Essentials with a friend, colleague, spouse, and/or family member.
- Light refreshments will be provided at break times, but lunch is not included. There are shops, restaurants and coffee shops nearby, or you’re welcome to bring a packed lunch with you.
- You will be asked to complete a short questionnaire prior to attending. If you need help with any of the pre-course work, please email essentials@hoffmaninstitute.co.uk
- A workbook will be provided for the weekend, but please also bring a note book and pen.
