Circles

Spaces for men in the second half of life to slow down, and explore what actually matters to you now.

The offering is an invitation to invest in yourself and community. To reconnect and explore your deeper questions. Practice self-awareness and develop self-leadership within a small confidential private circle.

Somewhere in your forties or fifties, the questions change. Less about proving yourself. More about what you're actually here to do with the years you've got left.

Most men never get a room to ask that out loud. The Clearing is that room — a closed circle of men walking the same threshold together, gathering weekly to look at what's true.

This isn't therapy, and it isn't networking. It's older than both. Every village once had its circle of elders — not to instruct, but to witness. The Clearing is where that happens now.

What is this next chapter actually for?

What have I been carrying that was never mine to carry?

Who do I need to become, to meet what's coming?

I hope you'll join a Clearing - see below for more details or get in touch with me if you have any questions or want to chat it through.

I do hope you can join the community.

The Clearing Circle

Online

A closed online circle, starting and finishing with the same group of men.

Meet weekly online, every Tuesday from 6-7:15pm over a 12-week cycle.

Four cycles of The Clearing run each year, with each one rooted in its season as a core theme - what is ready to be harvested, what needs to lie fallow, what's beginning to grow.

£295 for the full 12 weeks -with a £75 deposit to secure your place, and the balance due before start date.

(maximum 8 places)

Next Clearing begins Tuesday 15 September 2026 until Tuesday 31 November.

10% of your investment will be donated to Papyrus UK a charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and promotion of positive mental health in young people.

“In the midst of being as a whole, an open place occurs. There is a clearing, a lighting. Only this clearing grants and guarantees to us humans, a passage to those beings that we ourselves are not, and access to the being that we ourselves are.” — Martin Heidegger
