More than 25 professionals walked barefoot over red-hot coals as part of an 'Evolution Day.'

The event took place at New Place Hotel, Shirrell Heath, and was hosted by Evolution Empowerment Events.

Aimed at overcoming psychological barriers and promoting personal development, the day saw participants, including business leaders from Hampshire, Dorset, and the south of England, tackle various activities.

Alongside the firewalk, attendees took on a seven-foot trust fall and a barefoot walk over glass shards.

Another activity encouraged participants to write negative thoughts on wooden boards, which were then smashed to pieces by hand.

Annie Buggins from Wonderful Life PHBS said: "The day was an absolutely incredible experience and I can’t recommend it enough. I feel so empowered to go away and use everything that I’ve learned today about myself."

Kath Garwood, sleep consultant from The Sleep Nanny said: "It was a really empowering day surrounded by a lot of supportive people. I’m taking with me a lot of things that I can put forward into my business but also my personal life."

Jeff Shrimpton, founder and managing director of Evolution Empowerment Events said: "Evolution Days are designed to empower people to break free from self doubt, build confidence, and emerge stronger, both in their personal and professional lives.

"Nothing beats the feeling of being able to help others escape their comfort zone so they can unlock their true potential, and leave feeling capable and courageous.

"Every single member of the group bravely completed an exhilarating walk barefoot over hot coals - which reaches beyond temperatures of 1229°F - which allowed them to realise their capabilities and overcome thoughts of doubt."

“All of the activities organised by Evolution Empowerment Events are led by a qualified instructor and should not be replicated at home.”

Evolution Empowerment Days offer tailored experiences for teams, individuals, and charities, focusing on personal growth, teamwork, and leadership development.
