The Rising
The Rising is a three-month immersive program helping women navigate transition, deepen self-understanding and consciously create what comes next in their lives.
The Rising is a structured three-month program where, together, each woman chooses one meaningful area of life to intentionally focus on. Rather than trying to change everything at once, we bring sustained attention to what matters most, creating the conditions for lasting change.
Drawing on meditation, Jungian psychology, the Heroine's Journey, yoga philosophy and meaningful conversation, we explore our inner world, reclaim our authority, and consciously shape the next chapter of our lives.
Through live online workshops, guided reflection, meditation, practical exercises and a supportive community, you'll gain greater clarity, self-understanding and confidence to move forward with intention.

The Rising is for women in midlife.
Not necessarily a particular age, but a stage of life where old identities, roles or ways of being may no longer fit quite as comfortably as they once did.
You may be navigating changes in work, relationships, motherhood, health, purpose, identity, or simply feeling called toward something deeper.
-
Midlife is not an age. It is a transition.
If you're experiencing change, questioning old assumptions, or feeling drawn to explore what comes next, you'll likely find yourself at home in The Rising.
-
Before we begin, Claire meets individually with each participant to explore why she feels called to The Rising and what she hopes to gain from the experience. This conversation helps establish your intentions and ensures you begin the journey with clarity and purpose.
Over the following three months, through live group sessions, guided practices, meaningful conversations, and reflection exercises, we'll explore themes such as identity, purpose, belonging, relationships, creativity, freedom, ageing, grief, and meaning.
Along the way, you'll be invited to engage with carefully selected readings, resources and practices designed to deepen your understanding and support lasting change. You'll identify what you wish to cultivate in your life, what you may be ready to release, and the commitments that will help bridge awareness into action.
Most importantly, you'll do it alongside a community of women asking many of the same questions. While the journey is deeply personal, there is something powerful about being witnessed, supported and challenged by others walking a similar path.
The Rising is not about fixing yourself. It is about creating the space, structure and support to consciously shape what comes next.
-
Only what feels right for you.
Many women find deep value in hearing others' experiences and sharing their own, but there is never any pressure to speak. Listening is participation too.
-
Recordings will be available so you can revisit the material in your own time.
-
While everyone's experience is different, participants often leave with greater clarity, self-understanding, confidence, connection and a deeper sense of direction for the next chapter of their lives.
Not because someone told them what to do, but because they learned how to listen more deeply to themselves.

About Claire
I'm the founder of the School of Modern Meditation and creator of Awareness Insight Meditation (AIM), a contemporary meditation approach that blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology and neuroscience.
Meditation changed my life. What began as a personal practice became the anchor that helped me navigate addiction, self-doubt, perfectionism, anxiety and the many twists and turns of being human. More than a decade into a daily practice, it remains the foundation of how I live, work and relate to myself.
My work has taken me deep into meditation, Buddhist philosophy, yogic teachings and contemplative traditions, alongside trauma-informed training with teachers including Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk. I'm equally inspired by creativity, storytelling, personal transformation and works such as The Artist's Way.
Over the years, I've created meditation and yoga teacher trainings, The Alcohol Reset Pathway, and now The Rising - programmes born from both professional experience and my own ongoing journey of growth.
The life I have today didn't come from confidence or certainty. It came from learning to move through self-consciousness, fear and paralysing self-doubt, and continuing anyway. It came from learning to trust myself, listen to my dreams and take small courageous steps towards them.
Nothing brings me more alive than supporting women to do the same. Not because I've figured it all out, but because I'm still doing the work too. The Rising is an extension of that commitment: a space where we explore, question, heal, create and become more fully ourselves together.
